Don't Take My Sunshine Away

Hey, babe, do you remember when I worked at Mandee and you used to wait for me outside as I left work? I don't know why that popped in my head this morning, but it did. I wanted to tell you right away, but I'm glad I didn't because I loved how our phone call just went. You might not be right here with me at this moment, but that call is exactly what I needed after my last final and a long day at work. Talking to you is like a breath of fresh air. Of all the nicknames I've given you over the years, Sunshine remains the favorite. Think about it. When you wake up in the morning, what would you rather be greeted into the world for the day with? A beautiful sun shining, or clouds and rain? I don't know about you, but I prefer beautiful weather over a stormy day any day. On days when it's bright and sunny out, don't you tend to feel better? And when it's raining and cloudy, the day just feels so drab. With you around, both figuratively and not, my day honestly just feels better. I've never listened to the actual, "You Are My Sunshine" song until today, and I thought it was the sweetest thing. It took me a while to find a non-country version,  but I finally found one. Take a listen!


With love always,
Becca

P.s. From your sweetheart <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.
