          This week has come and gone way too fast. I've gotten married to the love of my life... twice... hung out with my new family all week, moved into my new house, and came into the New Year with anyone who means anything to me. I couldn't be more grateful to have such a support system, starting with my husband (I can say that now ;) Aaahhh!) As our first day of the new year, my only goal is to soak up the little bits of time I have left here in Philly with Marc. We were able to get all the cleaning done, and now to just rest, watch the football game, eat, and veg around like two bums. I think I can say, I officially know the true meaning of marriage hahah. I only have one day left, and as you've heard from me a million times, I'm dreading going back to Indiana. This week and Marc have been too great to me. I just want to be stuck in time here with Marc. This is going to sound cheesy, but if you watch This Is Us, you probably began to think about your life too. The biological father, William, has terminal cancer, and at the Thanksgiving dinner, William spoke to a girl and told her to take her time and realize what she has right in front of her. He told her to catch all the memories while she was young and able to catch them happening before her eyes. It made me think about my relationship with Marc. On days when I'm upset with Marc, I now have that to think about. I can either be miserable and waste my time being angry letting memories slip through my fingers, or be happy with him by my side and catching every memory I can, while I can. I've made sure to catch every memory this week. I can't let them slip through my fingers. Every gem on my champagne classes will be admired with appreciation, every Hershey kiss will be a reminder to the term "Kiss-tletoe" that my cousin and sister came up with, or the sweet moment I had with Marc to drink hot chocolate at Starbucks as he tricks me into another wedding. I'll remember it all. When I go back to school, anything and everything that happened this weekend will be playing in my head on repeat, motivating me to finish this last semester strong for Marc. He has provided me with so much, I cannot wait for the day when I can give him as much as he gives me. Thank you again my love, for everything you've done. I will say thank you one hundred times over before I quit because that's how appreciative I am.

With love always,
Becca Colón

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.
