Sticky Trees

When I was younger I always imagined putting up a Christmas tree other than the one for my parents, and today I finally got that chance. Listening to Christmas music with our dog running around looking for his ball and to put up and decorate a tree was just as I had imagined. Adding those final touches to the tree, like the star on top while turning on the lights could not have been any more satisfying. We were able to personalize our tree and truly work as a team putting it up. Sounds cheesy, but boy, what a team building activity. From lifting the tree off the car, twisting the bolts to lock down the tree, and you helping me learn how to properly place beads on the tree. Oooo and the washing our hands together trying to get the tree sap off of our fingers. That was fun. I was already excited for the holidays, but watching you put ornaments on the tree was a dream come true. What a beautiful tree we created my love. I think we owe ourselves a much deserved ice cream and movie night <3



With love always,
Becca

P.s. Can't wait for Christmas <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.
