My You Story

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!

I've said it before, and I'll say it over again 100x. Whenever I am doing something, I always think to myself, "what would Marc do?" Some days it's easier than others. Well, for the past couple of weeks, I've been think that line non stop. If there is one thing Marc is great at, it's motivating people and getting them pumped for life. In the program that I've been a part of this month, I've been in a position where I should always think about how to motivate people, teens specifically.  Marc motivated me both as a teen, and still to this day. It takes a special someone to do that. He has that kind of spark about him. Every time I think about what to say to my kids, I wonder how Marc would go about these situations, and if Marc would be proud of the things I've done. Thank you babe, for being a great role model. You not only talk the talk, but you walk it too! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Let's get to work!

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.

Oh the generational differences! Tonight, Marc and I went on a dinner date with my parents. I'm pretty sure this is the first time with just us four. No one else, not even my sister. Even though Marc knows pretty much everything about me, we're still getting to learn about how things were growing up for us two. Tonight, he got to learn about a scary story that had me shaking in my boots as a little kid. He was probably thinking how ridiculous I was for being so scared, but to a little kid, I promise babe, it was scary. One thing I did notice, is how you can relate to my parents better when it comes to which neighborhoods we were all raised in. I feel like an outcast sometimes when you guys name streets that I'm still trying to learn about, and at the same time, I'm happy you guys have something to relate on. I feel like we learned so much today. If you hadn't pointed out how my dad was talking, I never would've realized, I talk and sound just like him. SCARY

I'm going to come home later today and not do the blog, and you're going to wonder when I did today's blog. Well, I'm writing so early because I got an idea for the post and had to get it out there already. Plus, I have some spare time. So, just for some background for people who don't know what I did all of high school. Every morning before I'd leave to catch the bus, I'd go to my parents room and give them a goodbye kiss. They were usually asleep, but the kisses never stopped. Since I've been home, Marc and I have had a switch on who wakes up first, and I'm glad I'm waking up first now because I get to get back to my routine. Now, every morning when I am about to head downstairs to leave, Marc gets a good morning/goodbye kiss. What's funny about Marc, is he sometimes pretends to sleep and then smiles when I'm done. Or other times he'll wake up all abrupt and scare the crap out of me, leaving me wondering as to why he's so aw

Sometimes it's good to know we're feeling the same way. We both had in mind, date night! When we were dating, it was like never ending date nights for us. We don't get to have them as often anymore, but whenever we do get the chance to go out, I'm reminded how much fun we could have. We really do enjoy each other's company. I guess I love when we go on date nights because it brings us back to our roots. Long nights, staying up talking and just soaking up our time with each other. Let's enjoy our time! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. What's up handsome?

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

They say behind every man, is a strong female, and my mom has shown me exactly that growing up. They say a daughter knows her worth, based on her father, and he's taught me exactly that. On this day, 23 years ago, my parents decided to run away and get married. Little did they know they'd become such a big part of their oldest daughter's marriage. When I think of how to be a wife for Marc, I always try to think of what my mom would do. She's always been the great support for our family. If you know my dad, you know there is no such thing as being loved "too much". As Marc wrapped his arms around me, cuddling me with his extreme body heat today right after eating, I couldn't help but think, "Yupp, this is my best friend! He's definitely the one!" Only a husband of mine would do something as annoying to me as I would to him. I'm not sure if my mom actually enjoys being hugged when she's super hot, but there is a slight joy that come

There are some days I think to myself, "Man, Marc really loves me," today is one of those days. So, when it comes to sleep, when I say I'm tired, I'm not kidding. Since I was a kid, if I'm tired, I can literally fall asleep anywhere. I'm sure Marc caught on to that very quickly. Today, I came home and knew I was tired, but didn't realize how tired. Usually after eating I like to lay my head down on Marc, or at least annoyingly close. Instead of being able to enjoy my time laying by him, I fall asleep, and don't completely wake up until hours late after saying let me nap for a half-hour. This is one of the many "things" about me that is kind of embarrassing, and instead of Marc waking me up during my "nap", he let's me nap (I'm awake now!). Thank you babe for letting me nap a little. We're so close to the weekend!  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I'm sorry! I probably fell asleep mid-conversation like

The first thing people say when they find out we're young and married, "You're not even old enough to know yourself," and that may be true. No where in this blog post will I say that. Some people might know exactly who they are, and others may not. I'm not sure how Marc feels about this, but I'm definitely not done learning who I am. At 21, I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going in the future, what I want to do, and how I'm going to get there. What seems to be a downfall to outsiders is the exact beauty about young love. We have no idea who the heck we are, what we'll do, or how we'll get there. The one thing we can depend on is each other! This concept makes me think about math in a way. Math is messy right? I don't know about you, but sometimes it can get a little messy for me. Just like young love, math has a beauty to it. Formulas! No matter how confusing all of the numbers get, you can always go back to find a formula t

What does "home" mean to you? I haven't spoken about home in a while, and I feel like we can't take for granted or forget what makes a home, a home. For me, home always meant, where my heart is. A place I could always go back to. For the longest, it was at my parents home. I couldn't imagine going back anywhere else. Moving in to mine and Marc's home (yes I said home), I was nervous to call it home, and it took a bit for me to get used to it. Eventually, it became normal to me. This is the place where I can come home, relax, and be loved. This house isn't the only thing that has become my home, Marc has too. Marc thinks I'm a weirdo because I don't like being here alone, but that's because it's not the house necessarily that makes me feel safe. It's having him in here with me. I couldn't imagine calling a place home without him in it. Thank you babe for always protecting me.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I love y

I officially know the meaning of having a man-child. The goofy side of Marc has a funny way of showing. It's never expected, and the jokes never end. Literally! I am trying to write this blog and you can't help but show me a million pictures right now, with a story for every picture. As I did my work today and you sat at the table starring at me, and coming up with every reason to speak, I could very easily imagine what it would be like to have a child. Humorous is for sure! Then again, I'm sure I do the same thing to you whenever I want to cuddle. I guess I'm just as fun to annoy as you are. I'm glad we had such a great weekend. This week is going to be a long one.  With love always, Becca Colón P.s. August couldn't come any sooner!

It feels like forever ago when we were able to just sit down and relax with one another. I know I've only been home for bout 4 hours, but for these last four hours we've both been semi-relaxed, besides thinking about reality. All week we've either had dinner separately, or I rushed through dinner because I was tired. Finally today, we were able to eat, watch a show, and now get some work done. I might be getting tired, but you've been a JOY since I've been home haha. Seriously! Even when you try to tickle my feet (I'm not ticklish). Thank you for explaining that basketball stuff to me. It would've bothered me if I hadn't gotten clarification. I know when you watch things or get involved in stuff you get seriously involved. It's kind of funny to watch. It's like nothing else exists. Right now you don't even know I'm typing this (unless you can see the reflection through my glasses) but I'm cracking up just watching your every move.

This morning, I'm not going to lie, I couldn't believe you were waking up at such an hour. All to take little ol' me to work <3 I was tired, so I figured you had to be. Instead, you woke up with a smile on your face, and our day started out right. We were both ready to take on the day, and both woke up on the right side of the bed. I kind of suck right now because I got all wrapped up in work stuff, but I promise babe, your well deserved dinner will be ready in moments. Thank you for taking me to work this morning and walking around with me when you came to pick me up afterwards. I know you didn't get to see everything in action when we walked around, but just you getting to see where I'm at every day was pretty cool. I was honestly hoping we'd see more people so I could introduce you to them all. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I would've introduced you to everyone.... Literally!

If there's one thing I don't like to see, it's seeing my hubby upset, about anything. He's too special to be upset. I love him to pieces, and never want anything bad to happen to him. I've told him plenty of times before, that he can't ever leave me here on Earth alone without him. When I'm upset, I usually like to be alone, but when someone that you love is upset, all you want to do is curl up under them, and wrap them with your arms in a big taco hug. And here's one thing that makes marriage tricky. You live together, do the same things, eat the same, but you're still different people. Coping with stress and stuff is all relevant to the person. I know when my bub gets upset, he becomes very anxious, which can't be easy considering how annoying I can be. But if I could, I'd take away his every stressor because he deserves a stress free life! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. 3 weeks left til we can get back to our routines.

Today was one of those days, when all I wanted to do was come home to my boys. I was tired all day long and was planning on the different things I could make for dinner. Dinner has become pretty routine in our house, except for last night (babe, I'm really sorry I forgot to cook). Once I got home, I literally went through the fridge and was excited to cook dinner. I don't know why. It's not like I don't cook often, but I was just in that good of a mood thinking about Marc and Herky. And I always think this is funny, but whenever I randomly come up to Marc and lay down on him, he always looks at me like I'm a weirdo (which I am), but it's too funny to stop. I think I like it so much because it reminds me of how he used to react to me giving him hugs before we got engaged. He always thought I was going to pinch him, or squeeze him, or doing something weird instead of genuinely giving him a hug. A lot of the time I did do something weird, but it made the actual

We've all gone through that very first moment when we bring home a significant other. We get excited, and hype that they're around our loved ones. As I told my little sister and her boyfriend today, I thought I was too cool for school when Marc started hanging out with my family for July 4ths. I'm not sure how many years this makes, but I'm glad we kept on with this one tradition I didn't really realize we had. We may not have been together all those years, but we still spent them with each other, and that meant a lot to me. I can't wait for the many more holidays that we get to spend together. Oh, and yayyy, because this is our first 4th of July as a married couple. All of those summers together, I don't remember us worrying about work the next day, unlike today. Man, we really are growing up. What happened to the nights when we were able to stay out late at night doing nothing but talking? Those were great times! Good ol' responsibility decided to

I don't know about you all, but when I'm hungry, I'm hungry. You're probably thinking, what does that have anything to do with love? Today I had to stay out pretty late, and Marc has been home waiting for me. He checked in on me about 2 hours ago wondering when I'd be home. "Late," was my response. It wasn't until about 5 minutes ago that I figured out why that call came in. As I was about to start writing the blog it somehow came out that Marc hadn't eaten. Honestly, I thought he was kidding when he said he was waiting for me. There's no way he'd wait this long to eat dinner. I was wrong. It is possible. He hadn't touched the food! You know how horrible I feel, but how appreciative I am right now? A ton haha. It makes me think of something I've always thought about growing up. I'm sure this has happened to many of you, and/or you've seen it. When a mother gives her food to her children, or when she gives them the best b

Marc is most definitely one of those, "All or nothing" kind of people. It's the key reason I often find him to be ridiculous. You think I'm extra? Babe, we very well may possibly be at a tie. Or at least we are closer than you think. It amazes me that we can watch something, and I know exactly what's going through your head. It's because you're that extra haha. I still love you bunches though! Oh, and I know this is kind of random, but thank you for just sitting with me in the dining room as I did my work. Your concentration in whatever you were doing really kept me focused and in the zone. Seeing you do work always gets me excited to get stuff done. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Sllleeppppp!

Here is my statement. Just kidding! I think you're purposefully making me laugh right now so you get a good blog. It may possibly be working. You're too funny right now! I'm tempted to give you a sentence or two, but I love you too much. Neither of us really like when we complain, but your complaining right now honestly is too much hahah. I'm glad we can have a date night, even if things don't go as planned. Things might not have turned out the way we expected tonight, but I'm kind of glad they didn't. You wouldn't be saying everything that you are if things hadn't happened the way they did. Movie wing spouse night! You wanna cuddle??? Actually, it's kind of hot. I'm sorry the movie is waiting forever. But hey, it was get this blog up, or be late by a day, so take your pick love. <3 Now, let's get back to this movie. With love always, Becca Colón P.s. You can't beat me in connect four! Or minesweeper!!!
