My You Story

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!

I've said it before, and I'll say it over again 100x. Whenever I am doing something, I always think to myself, "what would Marc do?" Some days it's easier than others. Well, for the past couple of weeks, I've been think that line non stop. If there is one thing Marc is great at, it's motivating people and getting them pumped for life. In the program that I've been a part of this month, I've been in a position where I should always think about how to motivate people, teens specifically.  Marc motivated me both as a teen, and still to this day. It takes a special someone to do that. He has that kind of spark about him. Every time I think about what to say to my kids, I wonder how Marc would go about these situations, and if Marc would be proud of the things I've done. Thank you babe, for being a great role model. You not only talk the talk, but you walk it too! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Let's get to work!

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.

Oh the generational differences! Tonight, Marc and I went on a dinner date with my parents. I'm pretty sure this is the first time with just us four. No one else, not even my sister. Even though Marc knows pretty much everything about me, we're still getting to learn about how things were growing up for us two. Tonight, he got to learn about a scary story that had me shaking in my boots as a little kid. He was probably thinking how ridiculous I was for being so scared, but to a little kid, I promise babe, it was scary. One thing I did notice, is how you can relate to my parents better when it comes to which neighborhoods we were all raised in. I feel like an outcast sometimes when you guys name streets that I'm still trying to learn about, and at the same time, I'm happy you guys have something to relate on. I feel like we learned so much today. If you hadn't pointed out how my dad was talking, I never would've realized, I talk and sound just like him. SCARY...

I'm going to come home later today and not do the blog, and you're going to wonder when I did today's blog. Well, I'm writing so early because I got an idea for the post and had to get it out there already. Plus, I have some spare time. So, just for some background for people who don't know what I did all of high school. Every morning before I'd leave to catch the bus, I'd go to my parents room and give them a goodbye kiss. They were usually asleep, but the kisses never stopped. Since I've been home, Marc and I have had a switch on who wakes up first, and I'm glad I'm waking up first now because I get to get back to my routine. Now, every morning when I am about to head downstairs to leave, Marc gets a good morning/goodbye kiss. What's funny about Marc, is he sometimes pretends to sleep and then smiles when I'm done. Or other times he'll wake up all abrupt and scare the crap out of me, leaving me wondering as to why he's so aw...

Sometimes it's good to know we're feeling the same way. We both had in mind, date night! When we were dating, it was like never ending date nights for us. We don't get to have them as often anymore, but whenever we do get the chance to go out, I'm reminded how much fun we could have. We really do enjoy each other's company. I guess I love when we go on date nights because it brings us back to our roots. Long nights, staying up talking and just soaking up our time with each other. Let's enjoy our time! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. What's up handsome?

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...

They say behind every man, is a strong female, and my mom has shown me exactly that growing up. They say a daughter knows her worth, based on her father, and he's taught me exactly that. On this day, 23 years ago, my parents decided to run away and get married. Little did they know they'd become such a big part of their oldest daughter's marriage. When I think of how to be a wife for Marc, I always try to think of what my mom would do. She's always been the great support for our family. If you know my dad, you know there is no such thing as being loved "too much". As Marc wrapped his arms around me, cuddling me with his extreme body heat today right after eating, I couldn't help but think, "Yupp, this is my best friend! He's definitely the one!" Only a husband of mine would do something as annoying to me as I would to him. I'm not sure if my mom actually enjoys being hugged when she's super hot, but there is a slight joy that come...

There are some days I think to myself, "Man, Marc really loves me," today is one of those days. So, when it comes to sleep, when I say I'm tired, I'm not kidding. Since I was a kid, if I'm tired, I can literally fall asleep anywhere. I'm sure Marc caught on to that very quickly. Today, I came home and knew I was tired, but didn't realize how tired. Usually after eating I like to lay my head down on Marc, or at least annoyingly close. Instead of being able to enjoy my time laying by him, I fall asleep, and don't completely wake up until hours late after saying let me nap for a half-hour. This is one of the many "things" about me that is kind of embarrassing, and instead of Marc waking me up during my "nap", he let's me nap (I'm awake now!). Thank you babe for letting me nap a little. We're so close to the weekend!  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I'm sorry! I probably fell asleep mid-conversation like...

The first thing people say when they find out we're young and married, "You're not even old enough to know yourself," and that may be true. No where in this blog post will I say that. Some people might know exactly who they are, and others may not. I'm not sure how Marc feels about this, but I'm definitely not done learning who I am. At 21, I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going in the future, what I want to do, and how I'm going to get there. What seems to be a downfall to outsiders is the exact beauty about young love. We have no idea who the heck we are, what we'll do, or how we'll get there. The one thing we can depend on is each other! This concept makes me think about math in a way. Math is messy right? I don't know about you, but sometimes it can get a little messy for me. Just like young love, math has a beauty to it. Formulas! No matter how confusing all of the numbers get, you can always go back to find a formula t...

What does "home" mean to you? I haven't spoken about home in a while, and I feel like we can't take for granted or forget what makes a home, a home. For me, home always meant, where my heart is. A place I could always go back to. For the longest, it was at my parents home. I couldn't imagine going back anywhere else. Moving in to mine and Marc's home (yes I said home), I was nervous to call it home, and it took a bit for me to get used to it. Eventually, it became normal to me. This is the place where I can come home, relax, and be loved. This house isn't the only thing that has become my home, Marc has too. Marc thinks I'm a weirdo because I don't like being here alone, but that's because it's not the house necessarily that makes me feel safe. It's having him in here with me. I couldn't imagine calling a place home without him in it. Thank you babe for always protecting me.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I love y...

I officially know the meaning of having a man-child. The goofy side of Marc has a funny way of showing. It's never expected, and the jokes never end. Literally! I am trying to write this blog and you can't help but show me a million pictures right now, with a story for every picture. As I did my work today and you sat at the table starring at me, and coming up with every reason to speak, I could very easily imagine what it would be like to have a child. Humorous is for sure! Then again, I'm sure I do the same thing to you whenever I want to cuddle. I guess I'm just as fun to annoy as you are. I'm glad we had such a great weekend. This week is going to be a long one.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. August couldn't come any sooner!

It feels like forever ago when we were able to just sit down and relax with one another. I know I've only been home for bout 4 hours, but for these last four hours we've both been semi-relaxed, besides thinking about reality. All week we've either had dinner separately, or I rushed through dinner because I was tired. Finally today, we were able to eat, watch a show, and now get some work done. I might be getting tired, but you've been a JOY since I've been home haha. Seriously! Even when you try to tickle my feet (I'm not ticklish). Thank you for explaining that basketball stuff to me. It would've bothered me if I hadn't gotten clarification. I know when you watch things or get involved in stuff you get seriously involved. It's kind of funny to watch. It's like nothing else exists. Right now you don't even know I'm typing this (unless you can see the reflection through my glasses) but I'm cracking up just watching your every move....

This morning, I'm not going to lie, I couldn't believe you were waking up at such an hour. All to take little ol' me to work <3 I was tired, so I figured you had to be. Instead, you woke up with a smile on your face, and our day started out right. We were both ready to take on the day, and both woke up on the right side of the bed. I kind of suck right now because I got all wrapped up in work stuff, but I promise babe, your well deserved dinner will be ready in moments. Thank you for taking me to work this morning and walking around with me when you came to pick me up afterwards. I know you didn't get to see everything in action when we walked around, but just you getting to see where I'm at every day was pretty cool. I was honestly hoping we'd see more people so I could introduce you to them all. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I would've introduced you to everyone.... Literally!

If there's one thing I don't like to see, it's seeing my hubby upset, about anything. He's too special to be upset. I love him to pieces, and never want anything bad to happen to him. I've told him plenty of times before, that he can't ever leave me here on Earth alone without him. When I'm upset, I usually like to be alone, but when someone that you love is upset, all you want to do is curl up under them, and wrap them with your arms in a big taco hug. And here's one thing that makes marriage tricky. You live together, do the same things, eat the same, but you're still different people. Coping with stress and stuff is all relevant to the person. I know when my bub gets upset, he becomes very anxious, which can't be easy considering how annoying I can be. But if I could, I'd take away his every stressor because he deserves a stress free life! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. 3 weeks left til we can get back to our routines. ...

Today was one of those days, when all I wanted to do was come home to my boys. I was tired all day long and was planning on the different things I could make for dinner. Dinner has become pretty routine in our house, except for last night (babe, I'm really sorry I forgot to cook). Once I got home, I literally went through the fridge and was excited to cook dinner. I don't know why. It's not like I don't cook often, but I was just in that good of a mood thinking about Marc and Herky. And I always think this is funny, but whenever I randomly come up to Marc and lay down on him, he always looks at me like I'm a weirdo (which I am), but it's too funny to stop. I think I like it so much because it reminds me of how he used to react to me giving him hugs before we got engaged. He always thought I was going to pinch him, or squeeze him, or doing something weird instead of genuinely giving him a hug. A lot of the time I did do something weird, but it made the actual...

We've all gone through that very first moment when we bring home a significant other. We get excited, and hype that they're around our loved ones. As I told my little sister and her boyfriend today, I thought I was too cool for school when Marc started hanging out with my family for July 4ths. I'm not sure how many years this makes, but I'm glad we kept on with this one tradition I didn't really realize we had. We may not have been together all those years, but we still spent them with each other, and that meant a lot to me. I can't wait for the many more holidays that we get to spend together. Oh, and yayyy, because this is our first 4th of July as a married couple. All of those summers together, I don't remember us worrying about work the next day, unlike today. Man, we really are growing up. What happened to the nights when we were able to stay out late at night doing nothing but talking? Those were great times! Good ol' responsibility decided to...

I don't know about you all, but when I'm hungry, I'm hungry. You're probably thinking, what does that have anything to do with love? Today I had to stay out pretty late, and Marc has been home waiting for me. He checked in on me about 2 hours ago wondering when I'd be home. "Late," was my response. It wasn't until about 5 minutes ago that I figured out why that call came in. As I was about to start writing the blog it somehow came out that Marc hadn't eaten. Honestly, I thought he was kidding when he said he was waiting for me. There's no way he'd wait this long to eat dinner. I was wrong. It is possible. He hadn't touched the food! You know how horrible I feel, but how appreciative I am right now? A ton haha. It makes me think of something I've always thought about growing up. I'm sure this has happened to many of you, and/or you've seen it. When a mother gives her food to her children, or when she gives them the best b...

Marc is most definitely one of those, "All or nothing" kind of people. It's the key reason I often find him to be ridiculous. You think I'm extra? Babe, we very well may possibly be at a tie. Or at least we are closer than you think. It amazes me that we can watch something, and I know exactly what's going through your head. It's because you're that extra haha. I still love you bunches though! Oh, and I know this is kind of random, but thank you for just sitting with me in the dining room as I did my work. Your concentration in whatever you were doing really kept me focused and in the zone. Seeing you do work always gets me excited to get stuff done. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Sllleeppppp!

Here is my statement. Just kidding! I think you're purposefully making me laugh right now so you get a good blog. It may possibly be working. You're too funny right now! I'm tempted to give you a sentence or two, but I love you too much. Neither of us really like when we complain, but your complaining right now honestly is too much hahah. I'm glad we can have a date night, even if things don't go as planned. Things might not have turned out the way we expected tonight, but I'm kind of glad they didn't. You wouldn't be saying everything that you are if things hadn't happened the way they did. Movie wing spouse night! You wanna cuddle??? Actually, it's kind of hot. I'm sorry the movie is waiting forever. But hey, it was get this blog up, or be late by a day, so take your pick love. <3 Now, let's get back to this movie. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. You can't beat me in connect four! Or minesweeper!!!

Sometimes we just need a reality check. You're that reality check for me. You see, I may possibly be over working myself at the moment, but you want to make sure I give myself time to relax. If I were on my own, I'd probably never stop doing stuff (even the things that I don't need to do, just because I feel like they keep me busy). When is the last time you thought about self care? I'll tell you straight up, I only think about it when it is brought to my attention. You, on the other hand, are always thinking about how to keep us healthy. I may get annoyed sometimes about how particular you are with stuff, but I know you're just trying to keep us healthy and alive for as long as possible. That's something I shouldn't take for granted. You are not just worried about your own life, but mine as well. Thank you for caring! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Hopefully that tea helps a bit.

For better or worse. That's what we say in our vows. It's something we all hope stays on the "for better" side, but all know that worse sometimes happens. It's all a matter of, how do you deal with that worse. One thing I admire about Marc is his resilience. He makes hard times look simple. Making, for worse, pretty much non-existent with him. I've never seen someone go through hardships and come out as gracefully as he does. I may be married to Marc, but we're also married to life. The way Marc has navigated through life has shown me his willingness to persevere. In my eyes, if he could do that with life, he could do it with me. I look to be as resilient as he is one day.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I want to be like you when I grow up.

These videos always keep me going. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. All about the time.

It's going to be like I'm back at school, and that's no fun. Good ol' July, typically my favorite month, will not be my favorite this year. This year, it is the month keeping me away from my husband and home. The month that throws our routine around and gives it a big punch in the face whenever it feels like it. Marc will be working his usual schedule, and I'll be working every day until August. Our daily dinners will take a hit, and with that, so do lunches. When I get home I'm tired, grumpy, and have work to do. It makes me feel horrible. Then I think to myself, in a couple of weeks, it will all be worth it. The work we put in will all make a difference. One month is nothing babe. We got this. Oh, and happy late 1/2 year anniversary. We've made it through half of our hardest year of marriage. I love you bub. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Oh, and happy Marc holiday!

You have more in common with him than you know haha <3 I will say, you eat a lot nicer than he does. You've shown me the inside means the world to a person with your heart of gold. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. This is what happens when you take me to Disney!

There's always been that feeling I've had of wanting to be a Disney princess, usually Mulan. She was strong, beautiful, and intelligent. For as much as I'd like to relate to Mulan, I feel more like Simba. Just like Simba, I had to find myself before I realized I could love someone. Even though Simba didn't have Nala around growing up, he found himself. Lucky enough for me, I had the pleasure of having Marc around watching me grow. Oh, and clearly I was always the one going after him (if it were the other way around I'd be Nala). Throughout the Lion King movie, you see Simba hesitate with going after Nala. He sees how special she is, and is nervous he's going to ruin it all. That's kind of how I felt going after Marc. No worries though, it all came together! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I'm still a princess!

This is what love is all about! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. That will be us one day!

I love being a storyteller. Our story is probably the biggest part of our lives. "Nice ring. Are you married?!?!" Yes we are! Man, I just love meeting new people. What's even more exciting about telling people we're married, is learning about other people's marriages. It's not very often we meet people our age that are married. Not only does being able to talk about our story get me excited, but our views on marriage as well. So often, people become worried that we're too young to be married. If you don't have a solid foundation of what marriage means to you, that's probably true. Marc and I were always different in that aspect. We knew exactly what we wanted, and agreed on what it meant to us. Today, when someone found out we were married, they felt the need to bring up divorce rates. After explaining what marriage meant to us, that person and everyone in the group knew what we had in each other is something special. Divorce has nothing on our...

When in doubt, what would Marc do? When Marc and I talk about making decisions, it's pretty obvious about how we come to the results that we do. He's very logical, and I'm very emotional. Anytime we put something on tv, or a scenario comes up, Marc has this fascination of explaining what he'd do in the situation. I guess he likes to express his conclusions because he's thought them through. Since he thinks them through, they're almost always smart decisions. Things I'd never even think about (probably because I think about surface issues). But seriously, whenever he explains himself, I can't help but be amazed at the things that run through his mind. And it only gets better. He doesn't just talk the talk, but he walks the walk. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. You're testing me! Hahah, I need to go to sleep! Concussion I tell you!

I've spoken plenty about how encouraging Marc can be, and a lot of the time I really need it. If I were on my own, I'd probably always take easy roads, but with him, I'm challenged. Challenged in a way that inspires me to try even harder. I become super anxious when things go wrong, and almost always go into shut down mode. It makes me angry at how upset I can become. I lose a lot of faith in myself. Over the past couple of months, Marc has said something to me many times. "Don't be afraid to take risk" So, I'm making sure to do things full steam ahead. I'm going for it. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. This was written before our conversation.

When I finally listen to songs you want me to listen to, I usually end up liking them. Just how I love this one. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. It's beautiful! Even the video is cute.

We're going to be 6 months in a couple of days. In a couple of days it will be 5 months since I've been a Colón. If you've gotten your name changed before you'll understand me when I say, it ain't easy. You'd think it was a matter of signing a different name. It's not even close. With that being said,  it is a long and tedious process, there are certain things that you don't get around to. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been trying to finalize my last name change every where. In doing so, the rounds of congratulations are once again never ending. It has me in a giddy mood all over again. It's really something special to hear, "Congrats Mrs. Colón," or to be given the chance to talk about our story. I love sharing a name with you babe. Even if it means having to hear the million and 3 ways people butcher our last name. With love always Becca Colón P.s. Good thing we gotta sleep early. I'm beat!

I'll be the first to admit, I am selfish of your time. When it comes to time, I want to spend it all on you. I know we were talking about love languages this morning, and we joked about mine being physical touch considering how much I love to cuddle, but quality time is my actual winner. This morning I did come in the room to wake you up so we could get moving. Once I actually came back up to the room and saw you laying down so peaceful, I realized I didn't want to ruin or leave that moment. I was hoping you'd say you were tired and just wanted to stay in for a little. You didn't, but in my head, I already decided we would relax for a bit. Between you working, me working, and random things going on throughout our weeks, we really don't get enough time together. At least not awake that is. So, when moments like this morning come by, I struggle with my selfishness. It was interesting learning about your strongest love language. I agree with you, you can argue for ...

Where are you hunny bun? I'm missing you. JKJK, I know where you're at. But I am missing you. I forgot what it's like to be the person leaving the house, and not being left. Going to work this morning was no fun knowing you were going to be home all day. I literally checked my watch every 5 minutes while at work just wanting to be home. At least I'm off tomorrow. I guess this is what moms feel when they have to leave their kids at home. It's rough.  Do you feel this way every weekday when you leave me? You better! I hope you guys had a good time today! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Dinner soon?

You guys probably think I'm a cheesey weirdo when I talk about meeting with Marc's family, but I can't help it. All day, I was having a bit of a rough day at work. To top it all off, traffic didn't help. My day quickly changed once I got home to my hubby. The laughs started right away and I couldn't be happier. Home sweet home. Next stop, Marc's God family's house. I've known about Marc's godparents since the moment I met him pretty much, so I try to soak up every moment I have with them. I know how much they, and their relationship mean to him. As much as they mean to him, they mean to me. Anyone that makes my husband happy is great in my eyes. Thank you Colón family, and congrats Kelli! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I'll fix you with my love!

We've been in sharky moods lately, feeling like Robert Herjavec. We've been wanting to make moves for some time now, and with our future ahead of us, anything is possible. If there is anything other couples who married young could advise us on, it is working with the unknown. We're both so young, and have long lives to live, but when you're in a relationship, you want to make sure everything is stable enough to make those risky moves. We can always pray for another tomorrow, but it isn't always guaranteed. So, do we remain stable and comfortable, or do we take the risk? Anytime Marc comes up with ideas, I try to think it through in .2 seconds to make sure it's not completely crazy, and then I go into supportive mode. If Marc ever has an actual dream or passion, I never want to crush it. I want him to feel comfortable enough to be open to me with ideas, and to feel like he can accomplish anything (because I know he can). There are many things I admire about M...

Have you ever sat down, and tried to figure out how you got to where you are today? I don't usually think about it too much, but when I do, I get super excited and am reminded how grateful I am. For work, next week, I have to create a life map, so it got me thinking. What is my love map? My love map is a huge part of my life map. I met Marc my first year of high school. What if I hadn't been facing out of the bus the way I had been that day? What if we didn't have mutual friends? What if I wasn't bold enough to ask him to be my boyfriend (many times over)? What if we went to different colleges? What if I hadn't been so annoying and persistent? What if I hadn't stalked his life our entire college careers (true story)? What if we hadn't gone on all of those late night Applebee dessert dates? What if I hadn't asked Marc for his help all of those times I didn't really need help, but just wanted his company (also, true story)? What if we never allowed...

What do you do when you want to be one million places at once? Rush to do everything! Here was my dilemma. It all started out with a good old, "oh you're in hurry?" kind of customer service. You can imagine how impatient I was getting. Rest assured, I held my composure. So, I leave the place very last minute to rush home and make dinner. I could not go out and about without having dinner ready for my hubby when he got home, even if I couldn't be there. At this point, I become Speedy Gonzalez (just adding another Hispanic name to my title). I race home to make dinner, and race over to my sister's basketball game. Of course I wanted to be there for her, but I get there with four minutes left in the game because cooking takes a little longer than expected. You can imagine how my frustration continued. I told myself, no matter what it takes, I still have a bit of time to make it home before Marcky Marc so we can have our daily dinner time. Once again, back on the ...

Oh my, I'm turning into my grandpa. Anytime I'd leave the house all late, or drive while it was dark out, or too early, he'd say, "That's not nice!" I now understand why it's not nice. When Marc is driving out and about late at night, I have to keep happy thoughts in my head so I don't freak out about him getting home a minute later than he tells me. Or as my mom tells me, "You're my precious," I can't let anything dangerous happen to you. Plus, you work all day long every day, so whenever you leave the house I go into lonely mode again, and I like us mode better. I like being able to yell across rooms and have someone reply. It's no fun when I'm home alone yelling (that may or may not be a joke). And I love being able to laugh with you when Herky barks at the animals on tv like he just did. I don't even laugh out loud because you're not beside me to make fun of my different laughs. Oh, and I like the way you like ...

You can see I'm really tired, and a bit stressed, so thank you for doing my chores. Thank you for scratching my back when I'm trying to relax a little. Thank you for trying to keep me concentrated on the task at hand. Thank you for making me laugh. I agree with you. I wish tomorrow didn't have to happen. Who likes Mondays anyway? Not us, that's for sure. We like Saturdays and Sundays. Friday nights too. Who knew putting on the Big Bang Theory could be a motivator? They're so smart. They remind me of you. Except you're a lot cooler than they are. Oh, and I love how every time Sheldon says something ridiculous you give me the stare. The unspoken stare that says, "I know you think this is funny!" Most importantly, thank you for staying my best friend all this time <3 I love you bub. With love always,  Becca Colón P.s. The towels!

I want to be like you when I grow up (as you say any time I accomplish something). No, but seriously, you're what I want to be like when I grow up. I want to have your drive, your edge, I want it all. There are days like today when I really really wish to be like you. Your independence and strength is something I wish to achieve one day. You seriously get everything done and always come out on top. You set your mind to something, and bam, it's yours. And for as much as I'd like to blame it on luck, I know it's all of the work you put into everything. There are some moments when we're deciding between something as small as pizza, and you think through everything. For me, I just think of what would taste best. For you, you think about what taste best at every temperature, can it be reheated and still taste good, what will the service be like, how long until we get it, will the price match the quality, EVERYTHING! Anyone that knows you, knows I did not exaggerate j...

Herky is in a playful mood, Marc doesn't have work tomorrow, and pizza is in our stomachs. Life is good. Now time to cuddle for the rest of the night, eat ice cream, and watch some movies/tv. They say after a vacation, you need a vacation, and boy is that true. Since Marc and I have been back we've been on the move and exhausted. Finally, we are relaxing and enjoying our time together in peace, even though our car ride was supposed to be peaceful and quiet, and I couldn't stop coughing. I'm already sleepy, and I'm sure you are too, but we still have cereal to eat, and at least one episode of Shartank to watch. Let the night begin. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Can you pretty please get the cereal??

Since I have this summer off, I went out job hunting. Before getting married, looking for a job meant going anywhere someone would hire me. Things are different now though. I'd want to either work close to home, or close to Marc's job, and that's exactly what I did. I looked for places around his job, and found one. Tomorrow morning, I won't just be waving goodbye as Marc heads out for the day, I'll be getting ready with him, to be dropped off  at work. It's something small, but I'm actually quite excited. Especially because once I'm let off of work I'll have the excuse that I'm waiting for my husband to pick me up. I've never said that before. I haven't worked close enough to Marc's job in the last 6 months. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I liked this portable cooker on Shark Tank right now. You're missing it.

There is something so comforting about cooking breakfast for dinner and watching a basketball game at home with my hubby. We had a great family vacation this week, and are finally home relaxing until he has work tomorrow. *Sad face* As I made dinner, I had to tell Marc how oddly comforting it was to be back to our routine. His mom's house felt like home to us, but being back here gives you that weird feeling. That, "Ahhhhh" kind of feeling. Thank you Lina and Boby for making Marc and I feel so at home. The week wouldn't have been the same without you guys! I know you're super sad about going back to work tomorrow bub, but it's okay. Two days until the weekend is here! I hope you're happy to be back home living with just lil' ol' me.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. The weekend is near!

It's been a smooth sailing last day here in Florida, and we're looking forward to having a nice dinner with Marc's mom and little brother. It's never a fun time knowing Marc will be heading back to work so soon, but I know it's something that has to be done. Sadly, we can't vacation forever. We've had lots of fun over here the past few days, and am sure we'll be on our fun high for a while. I've said it one hundred times already, but thank you babe. For the trip, for your company, for your family, for everything. It is seriously appreciated. I hope you're enjoying your time out with your brother right now. I feel bad you can't have that time with him all of the time. If only Florida-Philly-DR-PR were all close to each other. I know how happy that would make you. I love you bub. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Don't stay out too late!

A long day! A long day indeed. My prince charming got me to Magic Kingdom and we had a great time. I hope you guys have seen Monsters Inc., because what I'm a out to say will be better if you've seen it. The first thing Marc and I did was go to the Monsters Inc comedy show. Marc was famous! He played the role of Randall (the villain). Then after that, we walked around and rode rides all day. It's safe to say it was a great day. And to finish the night off with the firework and Cinderella show with him was the cherry on top. When watching all of the love stories that Disney has shown us all growing up, it's hard not to imagine your fairy tale ending. The entire time I was thinking, I already have my fairy tale, and just like every great story, ours starts with a once upon a time. Let's live happily ever after! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Thank you for today

Another beautiful day. I can't put into words how thankful I am to be here with my hubby.  You'd be surprised how much we can't get done in one day.  We woke up this morning prepared for battle. Paint balling battle that is. Me, Marc, his little brother, and his brother's girlfriend. This weekend has kind of been a weekend long double date, but it's been super fun. I love watching Marc with his brother. The laughs are unreal with these two. And I'm happy to tell you all, we made it through the war! Battle wounds and all. What's a family vacation without a family bbq? Nothing. So, of course we had one today. Just as I feel when I see Marc with his mom, brother, dad, I feel when I see him with other family. You always see a person's most genuine smile when they're surrounded by people they love. And if there is anything I love to see, it's to see my husband happy. Buen prevecho my love.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. This soup t...

I've mentioned before how much Marc pays attention to the little things and he really does. I know everyone else and their mother has been to Florida at some point, but it didn't happen for me until yesterday. Yes, I'm in Florida for the very first time all thanks to my husband. First day here, Volcano Bay! And boy did we have fun. Vacation to hot sunny places are definitely a fun time with Marc. I've never known sunburn to be such a brutal thing until vacationing with Marc. The day before flying over here, the most important thing to grab was sun block. I actually had fun picking it out. It reminded me who I was traveling with. And when you do random goofy things like you did just now, I'm reminded why I love you so much. Thank you for an amazing day, and I can't wait to see how the night finishes. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I bet I'll be ready before you.

You feel like this when you get a break from the real world. Sometimes you get a couple of minutes. Sometimes you get a couple of hours out of the day. Sometimes you get a weekend. And other times you get a few more days than usual. But these moments are when you relax and get to just have we-time. I'm eager for our adventure, and am sure we'll have a lot of quality time together having lots of fun. We'll be surrounded by love, and time. Two things we seem to take very seriously. We wasted no time getting engaged, we wasted no time getting married, and finally, we're soaking in OUR time. I hope you enjoy our time as much as I will this week. I'm sure you will. Hopefully this rain quits so we can get some vitamin d (then again, the rain might not be a bad thing, you burn too easily). Here is to day one of our first vacation as a married couple. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. We're going to be rocked tonight!

There are some things that you do as a friend/girlfriend that feel a whole lot different as a wife. It's like how you did things before, but they mean more than they already did. When Marc and I used to eat meals together, I was always so conscious about what Marc would think if I ate something weird, and now we're able to just be ourselves. If you know me, you know I am one of the clumsiest people out there. Before, anytime I would trip over nothing, or drop food on my shirt, I'd be super embarrassed (don't get me wrong, it's still embarrassing). But now, Marc knows that's kind of just me. A hot mess of a human. This seems like something odd to talk about, but a couple of days ago, I couldn't help but laugh at how well my husband knew me. We were walking around down town, and bumped into a girl who wasn't paying attention to us walking by. She ended up walking back into Marc. Immediately, Marc and I looked at each other and laughed. We knew exactly ...

In case it isn't obvious, I've been a stay at home wife since I got back to school. I was eager to find a summer job because I've been working nonstop since I was 16. What I didn't think about, was how working this summer would effect my time with Marc. Not only do I have summer training for my actual job, but I will now have this summer job. Getting my schedule today showed me just how little time I'll be spending at home. It makes me kind of sad because Marc and I will have opposing schedules for a while. For about a month, we'll be seeing each other when we wake up, and when we're going to bed. That's no fun. But, we gotta do what we gotta do. Marc has been saying he's getting fat because I've been cooking every day, and I'm sure he'll feel like he's back in bachelor land when I won't be able to cook as often. Let's make the best of the next couple of weeks while we can. Eat up chunky monkey! With love always, Becc...

Marc done messed up! He showed me a childhood game, and now there's no going back. I don't think we've been so into a game like we have been for the past couple of days, but I'm not complaining. Because of our very different personalities and way of doing things, I get a bit nervous beforehand. I know we're either going to butt heads completely, or work together seamlessly, no in between with us. But hey, that seems to be the theme of our relationship. All or nothing! Well, it turns out, working together playing this stupid little game gives me a little glimpse at how great things turn out when we work together as one. This game is kind of like a mini metaphor for the lead up to marriage. Playing on the easy mode is all fine and dandy when you're alone because you don't have to worry about as many bombs going off. You can look at that as being single. You have no one to worry about except yourself. Then, there's medium mode. Things are getting a litt...

This weekend has seriously been way too good to me. A long weekend with my hubby, my mom's birthday, and a family party. Yesterday, Marc showed me he can really hang with the fam squad. I love seeing everyone enjoy each other's company. The internal anxiety of bringing your loved one around never goes away. But our time yesterday reassured what I felt, Marc is loved by my family. Usually when I would wake up at school, I was always so jealous about Marc telling me he had random days off of work. For some reason, I felt like he didn't work today, and all weekend he TRIED to convince me otherwise. Even though I didn't believe him, I still became really excited when 8 o'clock came around and he was still in bed. It stinks that Marc will be back at work tomorrow, but I'm already excited for this weekend. Here we go again!! I can't wait! <3 With love always, Becca Colón P.s. What are you watching right now??
