Take a Breather


          Between class, work, and everything else, I always find writing the blog to be my peaceful time of day. Even if it's just to talk about talking about Marc, it gives me a sense of comfort for the half-hour to forty-five minutes it takes for me to type this up. This is probably the best habit I have ever created for myself. For this bit of time every day, I know I get to talk about Marc, aka my favorite topic ever. At work today, I had a floater pharmacist, Kelly, come back for the day. She quickly asked how my boyfriend was. You can imagine how excited I was to show her my ring. It's crazy because it hasn't even been a year since I saw her, and I was able to show her so much of what has transpired in the last 9 months. I became giddy because my marriage isn't new anymore, but to her it was. Instant excitement took over because it felt like Christmas all over again, telling people what happened. I happily took out my phone and showed her tons of wedding pictures, our proposal video, our wedding video, and she was excited to learn how great Marc and I were doing. I'm not gonna lie, I became a bit frustrated with myself for the fact that I haven't watched the videos in a while. I forgot why I watched our proposal video every day last summer. And that's because watching the video puts me back at those moments, and in that bit of time I can feel the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard, and I just think how lucky I am to have Marc in my life and to never take him for granted. You don't realize how much looking back at a picture or a video can completely change your day around. I wasn't having a bad day or anything, but it sure did become 200x times after meeting with Kelly. I forgot how great you were at surprises <3

With love always,

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.
