Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me


          You know, I talk a lot about what it's like being Marc's wife, but I never thought about what it's like to be a husband. Mine specifically. It's so weird to think someone is at least somewhat equally in love with me. Enough to put a ring on my finger to show the world I'm his one. Of all the people around I was lucky enough to win over my husband. I can rattle off day by day why I'd pick him over and over  again, and he could probably do the same. I did so much throughout the years to show Marc I was in it for the long haul and that he was the one. I could only wish to see what was going through his head all this time. What moments to him were special? How did he decide to marry me? How long it took to realize this was the right thing to do? I'm really trying to wrap my head around the idea of someone loving me the way I love him. When he came to Indiana Friday night, the tears that formed instantly in my eyes were genuine. Every time I see him after a while of being apart I'm reminded how lucky I am to be able to stand next to such an incredible human. Only he could surprise me time after time with a proposal, a wedding, home visits, many more things and get away with it. Those surprises are like another way for him to express his love (and I love it!). Granted, surprising me is kind of easy, but the surprises themselves are always so heartfelt and meaningful, I can't let them go unappreciated. So what is it babe? You know I love asking this question because I like to hear these things come from your mouth, but what about me helped you pick? I know the title of this blog doesn't make sense anymore considering we've already chosen, but the process of getting here wasn't easy. But it's our time now, and we've made the best decision ever together. I picked you, you picked me, I chose you, you chose me, I love you, and you love me. It doesn't get any better than that.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. You make me excited to take on this world! <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.
