Four Years Ago


          Around this time, four years ago, Marc was finishing his freshman year of college, and I was graduating high school. That sounds so weird to say considering I feel like we were just in high school. Time has flown right before our eyes. I'm pretty sure I told the story about sneaking into Marc's graduation five years ago, if not I'll tell it eventually. But for my graduation, Marc and I had just begun talking again, and of course I wanted him there. Lucky for me, I didn't have to use a ticket on him. Even luckier for me, he was already invited to my graduation by our high school. Why you ask? Because as an alumni and first year college student, he was already too popping! I remember my favorite elementary/middle school teacher was there, and throughout my middle school years, he was always telling me to stay away from boys. He would always tell me I was too good for them, and tell me I needed to keep searching. After listening to Marc's talk, my teacher walked over to me and said he liked Marc, and that his speech showed him what kind of a man Marc was. Never in my life did I think that teacher would ever say anything good about a guy I liked. He was always super protective of me, and always had my best interest at heart. For him to be blown away by Marc after a speech speaks volumes. Marc will be here for my graduation this time, not as the keynote speaker, not as my boyfriend, but as my husband. Nothing back then, four years ago, told me this is where we'd be today. Of course I wished for it, but we wish for a lot of things and don't get them. This is probably the best wish that could ever have come true. Oh, and four year ago I thought Marc would never get rid of his chin beard thing hahah <3 I love you babe! Or as my dad use to call him, good ol' Abe Lincoln.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. We will have an against-the-odds, everlasting, successful relationship! Why is that? Because I believe it <3

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.
