Throwback Tuesday- Storytime


          Today, things all became too real. I've been excited about graduation, and making it home to Marc and my family, but today as our school co-op store began selling graduation regalia, it all became that much more real. As I checked in at registration we were asked to present our IUP ID cards, and it made me think how far Marc and I have made it together. On my iCard, my name is written as Rebecca A. Rodriguez, my maiden name (that's feels so weird to say being only 21). I thought back to freshman orientation. Talk about throw back stories, I'm already cracking up. At orientation, the last night of orientation they put all of the upcoming freshmen in an event space on campus. They provide snacks, drinks, games, and all kinds of activities. I always wanted a cool spray tattoo, so that was the first activity I did. I couldn't think of what I wanted, and finally I decided. M.A.C. down my rib side. In case you don't know what that stands for... Marc Anthony Colón hahaha. I was so hype, I took a picture of it, and immediately sent it to Marc. I felt like a little rebel child getting that fake tattoo. Anyway, it shows me how far we've come. I came into college unfocused, Marc-chasing, and didn't know what I wanted in life. Grad school was as far as I had been thinking. Today, I am completely focused, married to Marc, and completely backed up by my husband to continue my education as far as I can. I'm just so excited to get through graduation and to have Marc waiting for me at the end. I've been talking about this picture forever, and thanks to my mother-in-law, we finally have it. <3

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. The glow up is real!

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.
