The Milk Matters!


Ok, you guys are  probably wondering, why the heck is there a picture of a chocolate milk carton? I promise to you, Marc is probably smiling right now, and partially jealous that I have one (I'll have one here ready for you when you get here babe) But this single carton of milk brings back sooooo many memories of my freshman year here at IUP, and I know it brings back tons on memories for his freshman year, because he seriously overloaded on chocolate milk that year cause he could. Anyway, the whole reason this chocolate milk is so important is because this is one thing, yet again, that I used to bring Marc around. I'm seriously looking at this carton like, wow, you are amazing. My freshman year I had a meal plan, and with that meal plan, whenever I would get breakfast, I could get a milk as part of the breakfast, and I did. Marc was lucky to be on campus the year before where they could get 3 milks for one meal swipe. That changed my year, and I was only allowed 1 milk per swipe unless it was included in a meal. So unfair, I know. Well, I knew how much Marc loved these chocolate milks, so I would always make sure to have some ready for him in my suite that year, and I didn't stop there. I guess I've always wanted to be a cute little housewife, and having my meal plan and suite was as close as I could get to being one. So in true Becca form, every day for lunch, I would use a meal swipe on both of us to get lunch and I always bought a couple milks. I eventually got smarter later in the semester and just started buying half gallons. But seriously, every day I followed my routine. Around noon, while Marc was in class about to come over, I'd run to the closest food court on campus, which thank God, was only across the street. I'd go over, and decide what our lunch would be for the day. Some days I'd get Home Zone food (which was our favorite), Quiznos, or some kind of burger and fries. I'd bring it back to my room, keep it in the microwave so it would stay warm, and wait for his text to open the hallway door to let him in. Like they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Thank you Foldgers and Putt Hall Pod. I owe you one!

With love always,
Becca

P.s. Thank you for having lunch with me every day freshman year <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.
