It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas


          If you've been a reader for the past couple of months, you would see that I'm big on tradition. About this time last year I asked Marc if we could start our own traditions. We didn't quite get our stuff together, but we're finally making things our own. I remember thinking when I was younger, how I couldn't wait to have traditions with my significant other. I wanted there to be moments that were special to us. Thanksgiving, this year, was definitely something special to us. We both love doing things for others, so naturally, giving food out to the homeless had to be something we started as a tradition. We have our next major holiday in three days, and who knows what kind of new traditions we will start. I may be getting ahead of myself already, but New Years will be a huge high light for our families. You know how when you first start dating someone, you wonder how your families are going to be together? You're nervous because you want everything and everyone to like each other and you don't want anything to go wrong. This holiday season, although I still may be nervous, I'm super excited to have both families under one roof becoming one. I cannot wait to see that sight. The people Marc and I love most, and the people that love us, will all come together. I know I posted a picture of gifts, but seriously, the holidays would mean the same to us without the gifts. Every day with the person you love feels like Christmas. So, on Saturday or Friday night, when everyone is at church for their Christmas service, remember to thank God for allowing you another holiday with the people you love. You'll never know when you'll see them last. Love them, cherish them, hold them as tight as you can. They are with you, and in your presence for a reason. Marc will be with me this holiday season, because it is our time. Our chance to love each other, and never let that love fade. That will be our everlasting tradition.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. You're never on the naughty list in my eyes <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.
