Milestones and Holidays

We've hit plenty on milestones over the years, and I can't wait for our next one in two weeks. It might not be another graduation, but it will be our first legit holiday season together. Even though we've technically spent holidays together for the past 4 years, this is the first when our families will completely come together. When I think back at all the things we've experienced together, we've really experienced a lot. From me sneaking into your graduation, to you being the keynote speaker at mine (Yeah, I was a rebel, SIKE. But no, I really did sneak in) Since our high school graduations we've seen job accomplishments, school accomplishments, personal accomplishments, any and everything that has happened to one another over the years. And in holiday spirit I must speak on how grateful I am for all that we've accomplished together. I can't wait for you to see my families tradition on Thanksgiving. You always came after eating, so you never witnessed this part. I was going to wait to tell you this, but you're going to take part in it anyway. But prior to eating and a long hefty prayer, we all go around saying one thing we are thankful for. You've been my thing for several years, and I never wanted to tell you that because I felt like a loser. But I am just so proud and happy that I remained so thankful to have you in my life, because look at us now. Not only am I excited to have you join my family in our traditions, but for us to start our own. I can't wait for us to put up the tree, make the many sandwiches we will on Thanksgiving, spend our favorite holiday, Christmas together, and to start the new year with everyone we love all in one place. 2016 holiday season will go down in the books, well the whole year honestly. It's been a crazy one at times, but overall the best one hands down. I couldn't have asked for a better person to create new traditions and to reach new milestones with. Cheers to our holiday season soon beginning, and sending much love to our families, the people that have molded us to become the people we are today.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. I can't wait for Thanksgiving! We're going to have so much fun!!! <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.
