In Five Years


Do you ever just get into those moments when you can see the future right before your eyes? It's a pretty great feeling. I don't want to have any expectations for the future because anything can happen at a moments notice, but it's still fun to think of what could be. It's cool to think, when I was 14, I spotted Marc from a bus, and knew I wanted to get to know him. Not at all did I think we could get this far in that moment. I was just a girl with a crush, and now, eight years later, I'm a girl who's engaged to her best friend.
In five years from now I could be back in Philadelphia living with my husband. Can you believe that? I'll be able to call him my husband. Hopefully we'll be waking up sometime around now because that's what you do when you're adulting, and I'd be getting ready to walk Herky as Marc catches an extra five to ten minutes of sleep. I'm trying to picture kids, but we'll let that happen when it happens haha. I'm not putting any kind of rush on that. I'd like to be selfish at least for a few years in having Marc to myself before we start ripping our hair out with screaming babies, Herky will do for now. But I'd come back in the house after walking Herky, and I'd make my usual breakfast, but for two, because I'd be forcing Marc to actually get up at this point. No oversleeping allowed, we're grown ups, and they don't sleep. During breakfast we'd be drinking hot chocolate because Marc doesn't like coffee, and I'm down to drink hot chocolate any day. We would talk about errands to run for the day, and how busy things are at work, because hopefully we're both working, and if we aren't, at least we'll be happy together. I can't really say how the day would go because I have not a clue what kind of job I'll end up in, but I know we'll be happy regardless. Hell, I might even still be in school, who knows. As we talk throughout the day over the phone because we are being busy bodies all day long, we plan our date for the night because that's something we'll never get tired of. I can't choose our "restaurant" just yet because I can't just pick it, we like when that just happens. We've went through an Applebee's phase, currently in a Cheesecake Factory phase, I can't even begin to guess where we'll end up next. But we would come home, and I'd immediately start getting ready as Marc lays around because he'd be trying to catch a mini nap, calling out to me to come relax with him just for a second, because we've had busy days. I'd be resistant at first because I want him to get up, but I'd lay down because I refuse to waste a second not showing him how much I love him. We'd eventually get ready and make it to dinner. At this point we would be talking about what adventure we'd like to take on next. Should we travel? Or have some kind of family get together at the house? So many options to look forward to.
It's cool to think ahead, but for now, I'm not going to let any expectations linger because I'd like for Marc and I to live day by day, loving each moment we have together. There's no need to put a rush to it. We may have our lives together, but whenever you talk to an older person, they say their lives flashed right before their eyes. And I don't want ours to flash without loving every second of it.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. I'll love you no matter what situation we are in. Jobless, homeless, dogless, I'm choosing you to stick it all out with. I love you stinker <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.
