Oh Indiana


          Back to the drawing board. I'm in Indiana, and hating being back already. One more semester without Marc, and I'm not looking forward to it. What I am looking forward to, is making it back home to living with my man. One last semester driving back and forth from Indiana and Philly. Waking up this morning, I was dreading having to leave, but I knew it had to happen. Best believe I left a note waiting for Marc at home to remind him, my head and heart both know where home is for me. I'm coming back to school a married woman, and I can honestly feel the difference. You know how every year for your birthday, people ask you the very next day, "Do you feel any older?" Your answer is usually no. I kind of expected the marriage between Marc and I to feel a little something like that. I guess I thought that because I felt like I've been married to Marc forever, but this is so much different. I feel like I can walk with my head held a little higher, sway my left hand around a little stronger, and claim my new last name that much prouder. When I was younger, I never thought I'd change my last name for a marriage. I don't know why I always felt that way, but I did. In hindsight, I see I wasn't completely understanding what the union of two people was. I didn't understand that a piece of paper binding two could have such an impact. Not only are you choosing each other, but you're letting the world know. Changing your last name is like the cherry on top of the awesome banana split. I can't wait for that final cherry to be put on. Let the beginning of the end of this long distance relationship begin. Five months guys and I'm back home!

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.
