Look At This Stuff, Isn't It Neat


When you look around, what do you see? I'll tell you what I see. I see a giant window fan, a beautiful bunch of roses, a picture of Marc and I on one of our dates, a card Marc laid under my pillow, a small note on my desk saying "I love you", a beautiful hand made elephant blanket from India, and so much more. The point is, what do you surround yourself with? Every morning when I see those things, I know exactly where they came from, and I know they all came with love. Marc, at some point when I wasn't around, was thinking about me. They say you are who you surround yourself with, but are you what you surround yourself with? I'd like to think so. Look at the people you have around you. They're most likely loved ones, or coworkers, or pets (they're loved ones too), etc., but do those people love you, appreciate you, or find comfort in having you around? If so, you're probably hanging around the right people. I love leaving the house and coming back to something that reminds me of greatness and love. Whether it's a blanket, a hand written note, a painting, a tube of mascara, a "Secret Life of Pets" key chain, whatever the case, you know you have someone out there that loves you. I can't wait to be in a house permanently with the person I love. At that point, things could not get any better (well, they probably will, because living with a significant other, how fun!), but everything around me at that point will be a reminder. It's funny to think now, even a bill in the mail can be exciting to see, just because it has your person's name on it. One semester down, one semester left. 5 more months until I can say everything around me reminds me of my love.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. What do you have laying around that you love to look at every day?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

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.
