How to Make a House a Home


I didn't realize the difference between a house and a home until recently. Before getting engaged, I always referred to my parents house as home, as well as every other house I lived in (For like school and stuff). But Marc got me thinking. Are the houses that I live away in, home? Not for a second! Living with people, and living with people that you love are two very different things. In one case you run from the bathroom to the hallway trying to avoid contact or trying to keep from disturbing anyone else. In the other case you barely close the bathroom door and you make all the noise in the world because you know the people at your home are there to love you, not just live with you. I never realized how much could go in to making a home. Since I still live at school, you would think I still only have one home. And that is far from the truth. Having Marc around is a whole other home for me. He provides support, stability, comfort, love, and all the other things you'd expect to feel when you're at home. Home doesn't even have to be a place honestly, it can be, but a person can be too. Does it ever amaze you that we choose a person? We choose them. We're not placed in their lives through bloodlines, but we specifically tell that person, "You are not related to me, I don't really know how this came to be, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Care to stick around?". Maybe I'm just being weird and thinking too deep into it, but it's an amazing thing to think someone chose you out of the millions and billions and trillions of people on this planet. All the fish in the sea and you chose me! It doesn't get any homier than that. I continue to look forward to each day we build our home together, and I can't wait to show people what kind of loving home we have created together.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. I can't wait to be with my home <3

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P

Exactly one year ago today. The time has truly flown by. I've posted this video a few times before, but we're finally at it's anniversary. What a year it has been love! Crazy, to say the least. We legit spent majority of our first year together apart. It's okay though, we made it back to where we need to be. I love you bub! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Looks just like Rachel from Suits haha.
