Back to the Future


          Today I found myself looking through Marc's pictures on Facebook and remembering back to who he was at the time of the photo. I've only been around for 8 years of his life, but I feel like I've seen him grow so much, and I know he has seen the same for me. Whenever I get a glimpse of younger Marc, I always try to figure out what he was like. I make this joke about Marc, I feel like he was never a young kid. It seems like for as long as I've known him, he had the persona of a 40 year old man working on his life long career. I just imagine Marc as an eight year old reading up on stocks to invest in and trades. Or ironing a little business suit preparing for 5th grade graduation.  I don't know. I just wish I had gotten the chance to meet little Marc. I just keep saying to myself, hopefully eventually we will have a little Marc of our own one day. Cause lord knows, we'll have no idea what to expect with a little Becca. I can't wait for the day when (if) we have a little boy, to see my two boys next to one another. I know if we are to have a son, he will have probably one of the best role models anyone could ever have. They say one of the best ways to teach a child is through modeling, and with Marc as the parent, there would be no pretending, because he really is what success, confidence, respect, and love looks like. I'm not one to push gender stereotypes because I have a pretty open mind about that stuff, but if our son wanted to be an ideal man, Marc is the perfect person to teach him how to be one. Obviously this is all hypothetical and we'd be happy with our child(ren) regardless, I just get excited thinking about the possibilities. Being able to watch a little Marc grow right before my eyes. I don't think I'd ever pass up the chance to witness something so great. I hope you're having a great day at work today bub. TGIF!

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I was tempted to post one of your little kid pictures, but I'm too selfish. I don't wanna share the cuteness.

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.
