To Our Role Models


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 comes from it (don't get ahead of yourself babe, it's still too hot to be cuddling). But what that really hot hug represents, is a great love. It's like my sticky sweatiness doesn't even matter to you, even though it does to me. You love me so much, that you love to annoy me in a way that makes me appreciate you more than ever. I'm gonna take a guess and say that's how you feel mama? Not only can I see us in my parents, but we really do have some great role models in them. 23 years, and stronger than ever! When the going got tough, they made it. It shows me, so can we. We got this babe. Eventually we'll pass those 23 years that my parents have reached today, and hopefully at that point be role models for our children. Thank you for loving me the way my parents always expected my husband to!

With love always,
Becca Colón

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.
