We Got A Name Changer


          No, it hasn't happened just yet, but we're getting real close. Today is the day my marriage certificate will be arriving, and I can begin the process of changing my name. I don't think I've ever been so excited to receive something in the mail before. I think I've looked up what I have to do for this process about 100 times already. I can't believe how ready and excited I am to be carrying the love of my life's last name. I've already changed it on places that don't need legal documents, and I can't wait to have it on things like my driver's license, passport, or even my paycheck. It's going to be so funny when I pick up my check and they ask for my last name as they go searching for Rodriguez, and instead I have to interrupt them by saying Colón (pronounced cologne!) <---- I can get used to that hahahha. Or when I go to class with professors that I've had before and they look on the roster and don't expect to see me in class because they're expecting a Rebecca Colón, and not the Rebecca Rodriguez they knew. It used to drive me nuts when people would say Marc's name wrong because I felt like it was kind of disrespectful in a way. The accent mark clearly means it sounds differently than it is spelled, so just ask. The reason I don't think (again, I don't think, because I might) get mad is because I feel happy enough to even have that issue. I definitely never thought I'd say that in a million years, but it's true. I work today, but you can believe as soon as I get home, I will be racing to the mailbox and heading to any office I can with my marriage certificate trying to change my name. It's a good thing I won't be home, otherwise I'd be camping by the mailbox all day, and that might look kind of weird. Mail person, I'm impatiently awaiting your arrival!!

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. Would you take my last name babe?

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.
