The Story of Us: Desiree & Jared

 .... Something special happened in January. I met this guy right here. His name is Jared.

We both go to BYU Hawaii. We're both LDS. We're both in love :) 

He has been such a blessing in my life. I never realized what it was like to date a true gentleman before.

He's so special to me. Here are a few reasons why.

• He's not judgmental at all
• He loves me for ME. I don't have to try to be a certain person around him.
• He comes up with random/spontaneous things for us to do. Ex: water gun fights at night, picnics by the temple, night walks on the beach, etc..
• He's bought me roses and chocolate for no reason :) 
• He's the most respectful person I know
• He opens the car door for me :) 
• I'll be sitting there on my laptop, upset about something, and I look up and Jared is cleaning my roommates dishes. Just because. Then he warms up the food I was eating (because it had gotten cold) and brings it over to me. He's such a sweetheart
• Even if he's busy, he'll sit there with me and listen to me vent/cry/complain/ or just talk.
• He becomes genuinely interested in stuff that I'm interested in.
• He's so talented. Guitar, singing, cooking, snowboarding, writing songs, dancing, etc...
• He eats the the sunflower seed AND shell. Just like me :)
• Whenever we make cookies, he always saves me a little cookie dough, puts it in a bag, and puts it in the fridge for me to eat later because he knows I love it. 
• He has so much drive and ambition 
• He actually has an opinion on things. In a good way :) 
• He's a hopeless romantic. Just like me :) 
• He's outgoing. Unlike me. He's everything I'm not :) 
• He's open to trying new things :) 
• We can talk for hours about anything from deep religious topics, down to "team Peeta" vs. "team Gale" 
• He makes me feel so comfortable and safe when I'm with him. 
• He understands me :) Which I know can be very hard at times.
• He watches chick flicks with me :) 
• He makes me want to be a better person. 

We both have a somewhat complicated past. I've been waiting for a missionary. And he had a girlfriend when I met him. But there's a reason we met. We are so beyond happy together. He's helped me grow so much and learn things about life that I never would have noticed it wasn't for him. I hope one day he'll come to realize how perfect he is when seen through my eyes :)

Now here's just a little introduction of who we are together.. :)
