Our Other Half- Fam Jam Part 2

I don't know how I didn't realize this sooner, and I feel like a butt for it. I've talked so much about my family and how much they love Marc and have taken him in like their own, and I haven't even mentioned how amazing his family has been to me. Meeting a significant other's family is always a scary thing, now try adding a language barrier in between while you're trying extra hard not to look like a complete imbecile to your hopefully soon-to-be family. Seeing his family waiting for us as we were getting out of the car could not have been any more pleasing. With smiles on their faces and warm greeting arms wide open, I knew I could relax a little for the moment. It wasn't long before I felt like part of the family. Literally, he proposed the next day haha. But at first I was nervous to not have Marc by my side 24/7 because things are always easier when he's around, but I made it a challenge for myself not to do that. And I am beyond happy I did. Every morning eating breakfast with his family made me feel just at home, as if I were with my own family, minus the Spanish talk (But hey, my Spanish definitely improved that week! So thank you!) The entire experience having his family around, and us all becoming one could not have gone any better. I feel like I have new aunts, uncles, cousins, an amazing grandmother (seriously an angel), a really chill cool brother-in-law, and a super protective fierce mother-in-law. And when I mention family, that does not only include the family who I met on vacation. I could not go a moment without mentioning how amazing his aunt's family in Philly are, and thank his dad a million times over for the trip to even be possible <3 It was so awesome to see what kind of people the love of my life came from, and I should have expected it. All the things his family had shown me in the one week, were all the things I love about Marc.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. Thank you for welcoming me in to your family <3

Todos ustedes son gente increíble, y no puedo esperar a que todos se unen para las fiestas.

I probably messed that all up (thanks Google translator) but I can't wait for the holidays!!

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.
