It's On Like Donkey Kong


          Yesterday I mentioned to you guys how Marc would challenge me to get straight A's every semester. Well that isn't the only thing he would challenge me to do. A couple weeks ago, maybe even a month ago, Marc gave me a book to read. At this point, Marc has probably given me a good few books to read, and I absolutely hate reading. As a sociology major, I feel like that's all I ever do, so I typically stay away from books. I mentioned to you all which book it was and how inspiring it had made me after only the first few chapters, and I can finally say I finished it last night. Marc wanted to see if I could have it finished by this weekend and I did it. Finishing a book in itself is kind of an accomplishment for me, but the moment I finished the book, I immediately told Marc because I had to show him I did it. His response was exactly why I actually read the book. He let me know that he was a proud husband. Sometimes people don't realize how much the little things matter, and for Marc to say he was proud of me was actually a big deal. Whenever you have someone to back you up and be proud of you for even the smallest of accomplishments, you feel great about yourself.
          And of course I always have a story to tell. I believe it was right after my freshman year of college, that summer, when Marc challenged me with my first read, Girl, Interrupted. I had heard of the movie, but once again, I hate reading. I think Marc had read the book for class or something, I'm not sure, but he said if I finished it, we would watch the movie together. Remember, at that point, I was still doing all the chasing, so in my head, it was do or die to complete any challenge he gave me. I remember that week sitting in my mom's car as she was driving and she asked me if I really liked the book because I hadn't put it down once I got it. I think I just told her yeah because I felt like I would have sounded like a desperate little girl telling her I was reading an entire book to spend an hour or two in silence with Marc to watch a movie. No lie, I finished the book in about 5 days. To this day I can only remember one part of the book because I honestly hated how dry of a read it was, but I remember finishing the book and feeling so excited. Marc now HAD to watch the movie with me. I read the book that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with. If I weren't married to him right now, I'd probably be very upset considering we've still never watched the movie. -__- I'll give him a pass though. Spending the rest of our lives together definitely makes up for the two hours of silence.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. Tomorrow!

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.
