Perfect Day for Storytime


          I was reminded this morning, yet another reason why I miss having Marc up here in Indiana with me. About a week or two ago he warned me to bundle up regardless of the weather because I get sick around this same time every year. Seriously, always around Marc's birthday, go figure. Well, today I woke up feeling, well, less than okay. Actually, I felt like crap. Correction, feel like crap. Not even realizing what I was texting Marc, I let him know I was sick, and bam. He called it. He knew his wife better than his wife knew herself. I swore up and down that I never get sick, and he called it. But the story begins my freshman year. Freshman year I was really sick around October. I could barely make it through physically training with ROTC, don't know how I kept my eyes open in my one history class, and passed out for the rest of the day. I honestly just wanted to be home, or around family. At about 8-9pm I finally decided to take my temperature. 104 degrees, damn near dead. I freaked out calling my parents, took medicine asap, and their first words were, "Call Marc, ask him to take you to the hospital right away", and I did exactly that. I called Marc asking him to hurry to my dorm room and to pick me up. I can't remember what Marc was doing that night, but I remember feeling bad about asking him to take me to the hospital. As he walked in my dorm, I remember his words still to this day. "Huh, you're pretty when you're sick", I remember laughing and feeling a little better already. I was expecting an, "Oh my God, what hideousness", and instead I got the opposite. We went to the hospital and I remember Marc making me laugh the whole time. By the time the doctors took my temperature, I was already at 99 or 100 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I did still feel like crap and the medicine may have helped, but I think it was Marc and his presence that made me better. The doctors sent me off with cough drops and some nasty liquid medicine that I think I took twice. But after a day or so, I was completely back to normal.
          Last year I got sick on Marc's birthday, so you can imagine how angry I was. Birthdays are something that I like to go above and beyond with Marc. It kind of just became a thing, and with how sick I was, that was not happening. That entire week I just laid in bed, feeling like garbage. Marc would bring over natural medicine, make me soup, and his company. On his birthday, I seriously built up all the strength I could to get dressed and at least make him dinner. I went out to the grocery store and Dairy Queen. Marc doesn't like cake, so I got him a cookie dough ice cream cake. I asked him to come over, because I couldn't let him down, regardless of my sickness. My bubba is special and deserves the world. Thank you babe for taking care of me when I feel like poop! <3

With love always,

P.s. I wish you were here with me now :(

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.
