The Madre-In-Law


          I don't think there is anything more attractive than coming out of work, asking your husband where he's at, and finding out he's on a dinner date with his mom. Somebody please come pick up my jaw, I'm drooling. And it just gets better because he's not the only one who loves his mom. Today's blog is probably going to be a little weird but not really, it's still stuff that matters. Have you ever seen that movie Monster In Law? Well I have the exact opposite relationship with my mother-in-law. I honestly don't think I could've picked one any better. Sorry babe, this whole time I've actually been looking at your mom, hahah jkjk ok that was weird, but you get the joke. Growing up loving that movie, I was honestly petrified of having a future mother-in-law. I thought she was going to feed me things I was allergic to, trick me into things, and try to prevent the marriage from happening. Instead I found a mother-in-law who I can go on breakfast, lunch, or dinner date with. One who does trick me, but into one of the greatest tricks of all. She helped trick me into a wedding! I don't know guys, should I give her a pass? I think so. There's something about having the blessing of a mother-in-law that is just so relieving. Last year was the first time in a long while that I had seen Lina (my mother-in-law). I was pretty nervous, considering the last time I saw her was very briefly in a parking lot as we switched cars, and before that, I believe Marc's high school graduation. I'm pretty sure God was giving me a little help, because Marc's graduation last year fell on Mother's Day weekend. I knew I wanted to get his mom and grandmom something, and the holiday definitely helped make the flowers look not as awkward. I greeted them with flowers and Mother's Day cards praying I wouldn't make a fool of myself. Even though it wasn't our actual first meeting, first impressions still matter. I wanted to make sure she knew I loved her son. Because hey, I do! Her love means a lot to Marc, therefore it would kill me if we didn't have a great relationship. I hope they are enjoying their night together.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I love you guys! Buen prevecho, even though you guys already ate <3

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.
