Breaking Tradition


          Just as of this past year and a half I've been pretty much hell bent on trying to come up with new traditions with Marc, and a couple weeks ago I realized we'd be breaking tradition today. For the past couple years I've spent Superbowl Sunday with Marc and his roommates. It's weird thinking I won't be making his favorite game watching dip for him later. I remember my first Superbowl Sunday with him like it was yesterday. Honestly, I can picture myself in the room where we watched the game, everyone chowing down on chips and dip. It was funny because the game was split into two rooms, so you can imagine the screaming back and forth. Before Marc, me and football............ Well, let's just say you'd never say them in a sentence together. After a few years with Marc, I can now at least understand the game somewhat on my own. I still have a few questions here and there, but our first time watching the game together was I believe two years ago. I had asked Marc the day before the game if it would be weird to wear my Eagles jersey considering the Eagles weren't playing. It was a new jersey for me at the time and I wanted to prove to him that I was excited for the game. To my surprise he didn't laugh and said of course. I thought I was going to sound ridiculous. But that's not even the great part. When Marc picked me up, I think he had on a jacket or something, because I can't remember seeing his outfit. But once we got inside, he came back from his room from putting our things away, and out came my boo wearing the same jersey I had on. Can you say twinning??? I was beyond hype at this point, and can remember one of his roommates in the backyard joking around saying, "Awww you guys are cute". I tried to keep my cool on the outside, but on the inside I was jumping up and down with happiness and laughter, because he always gets me like this. He always acts so calm like things don't matter and then BAM, surprise Becca time. Granted his jersey was new too, but I'm just going to keep thinking he wore his to match me <3 It sucks we have to break tradition this year, but we'll be right back at it next year. I'll be wearing my jersey today babe!

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. This weekend I'll make your favorite dip to make up for today.

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.
