It's About Time

It's a Monday, and we're left back in reality. The weekend has come and gone, and we're left with amazing memories and two beautiful paintings. Every time we get together and leave, I am already looking forward to the next time we'll be together. And usually we only get to see each other for a couple of days, but the next time I come home, I'll be there for over a week, and that's so exciting. I haven't been home for that long since last year around the same time. When you spoke about time this past Thanksgiving, you were so true about its importance and value. We don't give time enough credit. When is the next time I'll see you? A week and a couple days. About how much time did you spend here in Indiana? About 44 hours. How much time of those 44 hours did we actually spend together? About 33 hours. And of those 33 hours together, 16 of those were sleeping. Leaving us with only 17 hours of the total 44. We were able to spend just under 40% of our time together. I kind of feel cheated. And then I think.... In about 5 and a half months time, I'll be home, and that 40% of time will increase. It really gets you thinking, how much time are you actually spending with your loved ones? And of that time, are you using it wisely, or letting it all go to waste? Some ask why I'm such a sap on these blogs, and my answer is why not? What else should I do instead? Who else deserves my time? I can talk about my time spent with Marc forever, and that's because he doesn't waste mine. He values our time spent together. When someone values you as much as he does me, you'll want to be a sap 24 hours out of the day. So complaining about my 45 minutes of love per day will never be a solution. Instead, I will give purpose to my time spent on each blog. Long or short. Because the person these blogs are written for appreciates being able to take time out of his day to read them. And that's all that matters.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. Yeah I took a whack at your time metaphor and gave it a little spin. <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.
