Can Jared give some relationship advice? What girls should and shouldn't do?
What does Jared think about the whole "Preston situation"
Can you give some advice to a fellow MG waiter and dater?
Jared and I sat down last night and tried to answer these questions :) So if you want to know the answers to any of them, they are in this video. If anyone has any other questions, please leave them in the comments below :)
p.s. If you aren't interested in those questions, but want to see Jared sing songs from Mulan, proceed to watch the video :)
Just another reason why I love Mondays. I get to write about some of my favorite songs! :)
This weeks number one spot goes to:
1. World of Our Own - Westlife
I always listen to this song when it's one of those days where I'm in a super good mood and just want happy music. This is a song about when you're in a relationship with someone and you trust them, you're best friends, and you're in your own little world :) If you don't already know who Westlife is, they are basically the British version of the Backstreet Boys. I kind of love them. Just kidding that's an understatement. I'm kind of obsessed.
Moving on.
2. Perfect For Me - Ron Pope
This song is about that feeling of loving someone so much, and knowing that no one is perfect. But this person is perfect for you. My favorite lyrics are,
"And I know you too well to say you're perfect
But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me"
Last but not least....
3. Faith to Fall Back On - Hunter Hayes
First off, if you don't know who Hunter Hayes is, go look him up. He's an amazing new artist.
This song is perfect for MG's, or just anyone who is wondering where life will take them. It's about having faith that no matter what happens, everything will end up the way it's supposed to be. In addition, it also is about getting answers that weren't what you were expecting. But as long as you have faith to fall back on, you'll always be ok :) I've loved this song recently and hope you guys love it too :) My favorite lyrics: "These days I’m not sure if I know What I’m doing here or where I’ll go But, every night I say the same old prayer:
“God, I don’t have to see you. I know that you’re there. Cause there were times I thought I wouldn’t make it home But I kept a little faith to fall back on. Yeah, and I’ve learned to put my trust where it belongsAnd I’ve gotta little faith to fall back on.” SUCH a good song :) That's it for todays Music Monday :) Thanks for reading/listening! Let me know if you enjoyed any of the songs :)
I'm obsessed with music, new and old, any genre. But mostly country/pop/indie/oldies.
I'm going to start posting my favorite songs that have either just come out, or ones I've just been loving that week.
This weeks winners are:
1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
(There is no video on youtube with the actual song, at the normal speed, so this is what we've got)
This song was released today and I'm already obsessed. It's different from Taylor's usual stuff, but after listening to it a couple times, I'm sure you'll be just as obsessed as I am. But then again, I'm a Taylor Swift fan for life and will always like her stuff.
2. Loving You Tonight - Andrew Allen
This song sounds like a jazzy puppy love song :) It's adorable and I don't know why more people don't know about Andrew Allen. Look him up, his stuff is good :)
I never know what to write about mine and Jared's relationship because every time I try, it comes out like a cheesy fairytale story. But then again, I'm sure that's just because we've only been dating for 3 months. Seriously though, Not only am I in love with him, but I'm in love with our relationship, and who I am when I'm with him.
In the words of Taylor Swift, "I don't try to hide my tears, the secrets or my deepest fears. Through it all nobody gets me like you do. And I'm only me when I'm with you."
I don't have to pretend to be anybody but me when I'm with him. He accepts me 100% for who I am. I can do the DUMBEST and STUPIDEST things around him and never get embarrassed.
For example, sometimes I get really really really hyper due to sugar. I'll start laughing hilariously at absolutely nothing. Sometimes I even start drooling. Haha, yeah. And sometimes even when we're with his friends, I randomly bite him, or kiss him. But does he ever tell me to stop? No :) he plays along. Or sometimes late at night I'll be like, "Hey Jared! I have a lot of energy! Let's go run around outside!" We'll then bolt out the door and run down the middle of the road until we see cars coming. We'll see how many times we can jaywalk (run) before we get to the beach. Even if he doesn't have as much energy as me, he goes along with it :)
We even do cheesy romantic things like they do in the movies :)
I'll be at the beach waiting for him, wondering why he's late, and then he will show up with chocolate and a rose in his hand.
We'll lay in the middle of the road at night and look at the stars. I'll get nervous because I'm scared a car will come, but he just tells me to relax and enjoy the moment.
We'll be watching the sunset at the beach and we'll randomly start wrestling in the sand. Then we'll run down to the water and he'll pick me up, spin me around and kiss me.
He'll tell me to go upstairs and open my window. Then he'll sit on a wall outside and sing/play guitar for me :)
Of course we do disagree on some things. We've not learned not to talk about whether or not animals have feelings. King Kong made me cry. Jared thinks they don't have feelings. Yeah.. Not a good topic for us. Also the topic of zombies. Anyone see that news broadcast about the guy who was eating another guys face? Yeah.. Jared said he would have gone up and helped the guy whose face was getting eaten off. I said I would have locked my doors in my car because I'd be too scared of the zombie dude. If that makes me un-Christ-like, then ok. Also, he thinks all Taylor Swift songs are the same, that they are all break up songs about stupid boys. Haha, if any of you really know me, you'll know I'm kind of the biggest TS fan out there. So that's something we don't talk about either :)
BUT
Is all that really that important? No :)
I love that he randomly stops, looks at me, smiles, and says, "Can I really kiss you?"
I love instead of hanging out last Friday night, he went home early to do homework :) I've got a responsible boyfriend :)
I love that whenever I look at the ocean, or the stars and say "It's so beautiful" he says, "No, you are" :)
I love that he respects me, and treats me like I'm a person, not an item to be used.
I love that he sings Justin Bieber songs around me, even though he hates him. He just knows how much I love the Biebs <3
I love that he lets me film him ALL the time :)
I love that sometimes he suggests to go on walks, just so we can talk and be together :)
I love that I can tell him ANYTHING about my dreams, the past, who I am, anything I've ever done, and he never judges me.
I love that he makes me want to be a better person.
I just love the guy <3
Ok. Sorry for the novel. I'll end now :)
But I mean come on, it's not a Desiree post unless it has pictures or video. So, here ya go :)
This has been my theme song for the past 3 months :)

.... 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 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.. :)
