The Final Rose

          I know usually when Marc leaves I talk about how much I already miss him, and today, I'll save you from my gooey-ness (don't get used to it though). Instead I'm going to talk about the big moments we all have in our relationships. I know, so much for not being super gooey, but this is more serious than it sounds. I won't get into details about what happened with Marc and I this weekend, but I will let you know this weekend was a game changer. Most definitely for the better. You know greatness is approaching when you are able to accomplish things that before seemed impossible. Every conversation might as well be a game changer because we really are always learning. Everyday in a relationship is like taking a 400 level chem class with the background knowledge in liberal studies fine art classes. Yeah I know, how in the world will we ever get through it? Having an amazing partner can truly get you far. As a great partner would do, they'd break everything down for you and show you the many different angles and ways to learn a single concept. It's not easy when your mind is filled with so much doubt. It's hard to imagine ever getting an A in that class when there have been so many doubters telling you it won't work, yourself included. But it's the faith your partner has in you that keeps you going. The reason you try so hard to learn the concept you thought you'd never grasp. You may struggle here and there, but once you get it, you've got it! You just feel like there's no stopping you at that point. Marc has given me this moment of pushing myself in school, preparing myself to enter the work force, and given me all the tools I need to be apart of a successful relationship. Marc knows I love the Bachelor, and he actually did something cheesy, something I'll appreciate forever. If you watch the Bachelor, you know there is a final rose. It's kind of like a engagement proposal/I wanna be with you forever kind of deal. And yes, Marc and I are already married. I always like to look for the signs though. That rose was a sign of power. A lift you up to conquer the world together rose. An I have you, you have me kind of rose. An I can't wait to have a million more of these breakthroughs together to continue to accomplish anything and everything together. Even the small things, like remembering to bring home the leftovers from the restaurant. This rosey Valentine's Day weekend was our weekend. It didn't have to be Valentine's day for us to have such a great time together, but it most definitely feels great knowing this was our first Valentine's weekend together as not only a couple, but a husband and wife.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. The funny thing is, I used to hate flowers. Yet, I've saved all of my flowers from Marc <3 Those old roses are from blog post #2 "Daily Motivation"
