Our Story


          It is finally time to wind down, and end the night on a bright note talking about my love. You know how you have those long days at work and all you want to do is run home and relax with your loved ones? Well, I'm having a major case of that right now. Work was rough, that is until towards the end when I got to speak about Marc. I've told this story before, probably in one of my first five posts, but I got to tell it at work today. One of my bosses at work isn't married and thinks of love in a cynical way. After hearing mine and Marc's story, he said there was some hope. Of course he joked about never finding love, but if my story can help melt one chilly heart at a time, than I'll do it everyday (Well, I kind of try that already, but you get the point). So, I went on to tell my boss how I had this crazy random crush on Marc when I was 14. I spotted him from a bus I was on, and was immediately intrigued. Not long after, I convinced a friend to give him my number, or give me his number. We had this open house event at our high school and a lot of the current students volunteered to help out. I did it, and so did Marc. This was my big break hahaha. They told us to break up in groups of 3 I believe, and I was the odd man out. He had his best friend, and his best friend's girlfriend. So, I got stuck with some other people. I was so sad!! Every time I'd pass him in the hallway I'd get butterflies for reasons unknown, because I don't even think he knew my name at that point. By the end of the day, our numbers had been exchanged and I remember hating how much Marc would call me buddy. I didn't want to be his buddy, I wanted to get to know him, and tell him how much I was crushing on him. After three days of texting nonstop, we had a half day at school. The Rush thing to do was to go to the mall, and we did. We went to a movie (we still can't remember which one) and that was that! Marc had this thing where he didn't ask girls to be his girlfriend, so I asked, and he said YES! We seriously "knew" each other for 3 days haha. But our judgement couldn't have been too bad. Here we are, years later, married! Nothing puts me in a better mood like remembering our story <3

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I don't know where that bravery came from when I was 14, I'm the biggest punk ever.

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.
