You Know Me


There are some things that you do as a friend/girlfriend that feel a whole lot different as a wife. It's like how you did things before, but they mean more than they already did. When Marc and I used to eat meals together, I was always so conscious about what Marc would think if I ate something weird, and now we're able to just be ourselves. If you know me, you know I am one of the clumsiest people out there. Before, anytime I would trip over nothing, or drop food on my shirt, I'd be super embarrassed (don't get me wrong, it's still embarrassing). But now, Marc knows that's kind of just me. A hot mess of a human. This seems like something odd to talk about, but a couple of days ago, I couldn't help but laugh at how well my husband knew me. We were walking around down town, and bumped into a girl who wasn't paying attention to us walking by. She ended up walking back into Marc. Immediately, Marc and I looked at each other and laughed. We knew exactly why we laughed. Marc's first words, "I can't even be mad, because that's something you would do," and boy was he right. That was my exact thought because I'm always in the way, or making something awkward. They say marriage teaches you patience, and my lord, it really does. You learn how to deal with a different person. Outside of marriage, doing things are different. When you're dating, you may do things that your partner finds to be weird, but they won't say anything. It can be something as dumb as folding a shirt. When you're married, you realize you want your shirt folded a certain way and want to tell your partner. You have a couple of options. Learn to love the new folding technique. Ask them to fold it the way you like it. Do it yourself. Or compromise. You'd be surprised how many things you end up compromising on. I guess that's marriage for ya. 

With love always,

P.s. Time to sleep but the game is good. Look on the ironing board.

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.
