I Can Finally Be Open :)

It's such a nice feeling to finally have my blogs private. I'll be honest, it was kind of annoying having random people from my ward, family members, Jared's family, etc... read my blogs and comment on them. I felt the constant need to make sure everything I wrote was appropriate. But now, I don't have to worry about anything :)
First of all, I want to thank you all for following my blogs ever since the beginning :) This blog is basically a diary of my relationship with Jared. In case ya'll can't tell, I'm kind of obsessed with love. Scratch that. I'm completely obsessed with it. I'm not one of those girls who doesn't know how to live without it, or is desperate, or lives their life around it. No no, that's not me. I am completely obsessed with it in the way that I want to capture every moment of it. Because sharing something so special with someone is rare. Why not celebrate it? The reason I take so many pictures, videos, and blog so much is because I never want to forget all the moments. The little things. I believe love is one of the closest things we have to magic.  There are only a couple people in our lives that will define what love is supposed to feel like. Not the love we thought we felt in Jr. High with that boy you dated for a month. But true love. The kind of love that is patient and kind. The kind that does not envy or boast or is rude. The kind that is not self seeking or is easily angered. True love keeps no record of wrongs. It does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. True love never fails. The people that make us feel that way, and truly love us, should be the most important people in our lives. And I've found that, with Jared :)

 

 For example, 

Mother Nature decided to drop by yesterday and give me a much wanted gift (ha..ha) Which resulted in me being moody and complaining about my "girl problems" to Jared. The word "tampon" may have been mentioned more than once. But he's such a good sport and just goes with :) We decided to go swimming cuz it was super hot outside. Word of advice: Don't go off the diving board when you're on your period. Just... don't. I freaked out cuz I couldn't feel my tampon anymore (tmi? I warned you I wasn't going to hold anything back anymore). I ended up being wrong and everything was fine. But Jared got out of the pool and walked all the way to the bathroom with me and waited outside to make sure I was ok. The stuff that boy puts up with... I tell ya. 

I know it sounds stupid, but it's seriously the little things. 

I never thought I'd be where I am today. But it's all because of freaking love. When you know it's right, it's right :) And I know that everything with Jared is exactly how it's supposed to be. This is where I'm meant to be in my life right now. And honestly, I'm nowhere near ready to get married. Not because I don't know how to be "committed". Just because I feel like there's more that I need to do in life before I get married :) Which works out perfectly with him still having to go on a mission :) (Does Heavenly Father know me, or what?) :)

 Am I going to wait for him? I want to say yes. But at the same time, it didn't exactly work out when I said I was 100% certain I was going to wait for the first missionary. Then again, I like to think this time is different :) Because it's Jared. And HE'S different. He's everything I've always wanted, but never had.

One thing I DO know is that God's plan is always the best. And I believe that his plan for me has brought me to where I am. 

Quote of the day:  

 "I don’t know why we all hang on to something we know we’re better off letting go. Its like we’re scared to lose what we really don't have. Some of us say we’d rather have that something than nothing, but the truth is to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all. "

I've learned to let go of what's hurting you in order to make room for what truly makes you happy :)

And it's the best decision I've ever made.

"You Make Me Crazier"

This boy right here. Him in his glasses. He makes me crazier about him every day :) 

<3

It's just the little things that happen every day. The way that he always texts me saying, 

"Good morning beautiful! :)"

Or the way he looks at me and I can tell me loves me without even having to say anything.

<3

Today I visited his ward because him and his brothers were doing a musical number. I'd gone to church with him in Hawaii but this was the first time in Utah. Church has always been a huge part of my life and I just loved being able to share that experience with the person I love. I was trying to be all reverent when Jared looks at me and motions his hand towards me. His family isn't a big fan of PDA so I shook my head no. He continued to stare at me with his smile that says, "Seriously Desiree? Come on" :) So I gave in and grabbed his hand. One thing I love about him. He ALWAYS wants to be close to me. Even simple little things like holding hands. We hold hands when he drives, when we're in church, sometimes when we were class, when we're shopping, and just all the time. He kisses me on the forehead and I kiss him on the cheek. He randomly picks me up and spins me around. We dance all the time. There's hardly ever music, but we like it that way :) I love all of that so much more than just making out. It means more :)

We've been together for 4 months now. I know, I know, that's a super short amount of time. But time is just that. Time. It feels like it's been forever :)

Jared's 19th Birthday/The Little Things

I'm back!!! I stopped blogging for a little while because I had to figure some things out. I seriously need to start blogging more often. I realized it's been exactly a month since I last blogged on here. Wanna know the lamest part? It's summer and I'm not working. Which means I have a freaking lot of time on my hands. I have been spending a lot of time with my Jarebear though :) (yes, I love using pet names)
Yesterday was Jared's 19th Birthday. Yes, he's actually a year and a half younger than me. Is it weird? No, not really. He's more mature than me so that makes up for it. So in honor of his birthday, I put together a video with some pictures/videos from the past few years, along with a slideshow of pictures of us.



I also made ANOTHER video (if you haven't noticed already, I'm obsessed with videos and capturing every moment). And this video shows some of the stuff we did on his birthday. It was a super fun day and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I hoped he would. I'm the kind of person where when I love someone, I want to do everything I can to SHOW them how much I love them. Because really, it's about what you do, not what you say. Having a birthday is just an excuse for me to shower him with more love than normal. Really, people should treat each other with that much love every single day. It could be little things like taking someone out for breakfast, bringing them cookies, or even just making them a sandwich. Sometimes little things mean the most. Scratch that. Most of the time, little things mean the most. Moral of the story, I'm going to start doing more little things for people :)  p.s. Jared is seriously one in a million :) <3
