Man Crush Monday


          Today in my gender class we spoke a lot about high school relationships and socialization, and it got me thinking back to our older days as a couple. Remember, Marc and I were only 14 and 15 when we first became boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm pretty sure I spoke about how we first got together in one of the earlier blog posts and about our first date. I'm still trying to figure out what movie we went to see on our first date. I even looked up 2009 movies and I can't figure it out. Right now I'm thinking Lovely Bones, but I'm not quite sure. Anyway, back to what I was getting in to. It made me think about the things I used to cherish in those days. It's honestly funny to think of how we were as a couple. After our first date Marc started talking the 67 bus, that way we could ride the bus together going to school (we were cool haha). Marc would always take the early bus, so I would get up earlier, just to ride together. We would sit all the way in the back on the bus. I remember my dad would take me to the bus stop every morning, even though it was at the corner of my house, and I would hope and pray a girl friend of mine would be on the bus too. Since I didn't tell my parents Marc was my boyfriend for a month. But I'd get on the bus thinking I was so cool sitting next to Marc. I remember sitting at one of the cafeteria tables for breakfast and how we'd play Tap Tap Revenge on Marc's phone because I was still a part of the flip phone crew. I really did think he was all that and a bag of chips. We didn't have much time physically together when we dated because it was morning ride on the bus, breakfast, and home ride on the bus. Other than that, it was all phone calls. I said this before too, but I loved having a little sister around, because I felt like she was a toy I could show off. Like hey Marc, even if you don't really want to talk to me, look at this adorable little girl I have (not in a creepy way, Sara really was a cute little kid, WHAT HAPPENED?). I don't even remember what we spoke about, it had to have been about nonsense really. The one thing I can say is, we always knew about looking up to our role model couple relationships. I looked up to my grandparent's relationship, and he always looked up to his Godparent's relationship. If you think about it, we were definitely little kids, but our hearts were definitely beyond our years. Babe, what are some things you remember from when we dated in high school?

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. Oh, and I remember thinking you sucked at Tap tap, and how much you swore you were better hahaha. I think this calls for a challenge. And we really have to find that picture of you and me at your Rush graduation.

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.
