In All Seriousness

This song. This song just perfectly describes my life as of the last 6 months. I'm just in love with it.

In other news,

things are getting pretty serious between Jared and I :) I know he's going on a mission, and I know it's my job to help him prepare (believe I know, I've been there before) but that doesn't mean I can't keep falling for him more and more everyday, right? 

We see each other every day. Even if it's just for a minute or two. We're so close. He knows when it's that time of month, and I know when his anxiety is acting up. He knows exactly what food I'm craving when I'm sad, and I know what happens when he doesn't get enough sleep. 

In all honesty, it was hard completely giving myself over to fall for Jared. Even after we'd been dating for months, my first missionary (Preston) would still pop up in the back of my mind. I was getting really frustrated thinking to myself, "I love Jared. Jared is better for me. Why am I still randomly thinking about Preston?" It was really bugging me. But I eventually came to realize that time heals everything. No matter what happens in life, time will heal it. Maybe it'll take a week, maybe it'll take a year. Ultimately, it will be ok in the end :) 

It's been so nice to just have Jared in my life now :) It just feels so... right. He really has become my best friend :) For anyone who has that someone who makes them happier than anything in the world, don't let that someone go :) And for someone who is still looking, don't settle. Don't give up. Trust in Heavenly Fathers timing :) And for those of you who are with someone, but think there might be something better out there, or something more that you deserve, don't be afraid to start looking. If the person you're with isn't everything you've always wanted, don't feel bad to want more. You'll find it eventually :) 

Now here's just a few photos of recently :) 

At church together :)

Beautiful Utah sunset :)

He lets me take tons of pictures of him :) He's definitely a keeper :)

We're just excited for Halloween :)

"Desiree Burnham! I mean... Moore" Like I said, things have become pretty serious :)

Sometimes I just go to Kohls (where he works) and try on clothes until he's not busy anymore :)

Hahahaha, he makes me laugh :)

Random Date :)

Sometimes we just "hang out" and sometimes we go on fancy dates. Other times, like today for example, we were just spontaneous and did whatever we felt like :)

First we went to walmart. Jared said, "We could just walk around walmart for a while. It's not like we have anything else to do." I could not spend my whole Saturday night walking around WalMart. It's just not my favorite place. So we decided to head to the mall :) The mall is always fun. Right? We eventually got there. Yeah, it wasn't all that fun. The best part was eating Subway. Yum. Then we saw Cinemark as we were leaving the mall, and decided to go in and get some kettle corn :) Let me tell ya, that stuff is A-MA-ZING. We bought the tub. Haha, sometimes we eat like pigs. After cinemark, we decided to go into Kohls and see if his best friend, Brady, was working. Turns out he was working. After saying hi, we went out in the parking lot, whipped out Jared's longboard, and rode around :)

One thing I love about Jared, is that we can do the dumbest things but still have so much fun together. We can be spontaneous. I love that so much about him. I don't think I could ever be with someone who wasn't spontaneous and willing to do crazy stuff at random times.

We ended the night at my house watching a movie on my laptop with our movie theatre popcorn :) 

My advice: Be with someone who will do random stuff with you :) It's important to know how to have fun with basically nothing at all. Put yourselves in a situation where you basically have nothing to do. And see what you come up with :) 

Random Video/Sunsets & Open Houses

We've had a fun couple days :)

Wednesday: We drove  up Provo Canyon and watched the sunset from Squaw Peak :) 

Then we went to Orange Leaf and stuffed our faces with frozen yogurt. Normally I'm a 100% devoted Yogurtland goer, but Orange Leaf is his favorite place. So I gave it a try. And they had my absolute favorite flavor. Wedding Cake. Haha, go figure. 

Thursday: We went to the Brigham City Temple open house!! :) This was only our second ever open house, and first open house together. I just love the feeling I get inside the temple. So peaceful, like nothing can go wrong and life is the wonderful. What an amazing experience with an amazing guy :) 

And since this wouldn't truly be a Desiree post without a video, here's some random videos we took the past couple days :) We definitely have interesting conversation at times. But I love it :) 

My Week Through Instagram

Listening to talented brothers play beautiful music

 We made matching build-a-bears :)

One of Jared's favorite desserts. Now also one of MY favorites.

Spending time at his house after going to church together :)

Sometimes I sit in the parking lot and wait for Jared to get off work.

                        

We went boating for my FIRST time EVER.

 I just like this one :)

 Thanks for watching my YouTube channel :)

 As Jared said, "We fit perfectly together"

Waiting in line at Cafe Rio. Even when he's funny he's adorable :)
