He Must Really Love Me :)

Sometimes at night I send him pictures like this:
But he still says,

I just had to brag :) Every girl wants to be told that they still look pretty when their hair is a mess and they have no makeup on. 
He's a keeper :)

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 :)

Relationship Advice with Jared/Answering Questions

Recently I've been asked questions such as:
  • What do you and Jared define as love?
  • 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 :)

JARED'S MISSION CALL!!! :D

Yes. I put it in all caps because that's how excited I am. I'm trying to contain myself right now. Just watch the video and you'll see why :) 
I can't even describe how excited I am. 
For a lot of selfish reasons actually. Italy would have been my dream mission. I've always wanted to marry someone who went to Italy on his mission. Italian is my favorite language. I want to visit Italy more than anywhere else. ALSO, I know the mail system in Europe isn't too bad so that's just a bonus ;)
He's so excited, and I'm extremely proud of him. I think it's funny because I'm the one in the relationship who loves old cultures, buildings, cities, anything with history really. He's the one who is all into modern anything. And now he's going to one of the oldest cities :) I love it!! 
His face is perfect :) He read it in his head before he read it out loud. I was like, "AH WHAT DOES IT SAY!!" But based on his face, I knew he wasn't going to Boise :)
I love his smile :) 
January 16th, 2013. 
I was expecting him to leave in like November. But I'm so excited we get to spend the Holidays together :) We've only been dating for almost 6 months. So I'm glad we get more time together. But at the same time, I wish he would just leave sooner so he can come home sooner. 
For anyone who doesn't know, I've had a missionary before. Almost two years ago this same thing was happening. It's crazy though how different it feels this time. I like it :) 
I'M JUST SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

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 :)

Mission Call Week

Tonight Jared let me know that he should be getting his mission call sometime this week!
I'm SOOOO excited!!! 
Selfishly, I'm hoping he either goes stateside on the east coast (stateside MG's  don't know how good they have it) or Europe. 
But unselfishly, I'm hoping he goes to South America. That's where he really wants to go. Brazil specifically. But my guess is going to be... Somewhere in Asia, or Africa. Or maybe just some crazy little island out there. 
I just can't wait to find out. I'm keepin' my fingers crossed that it comes soon.

Music Monday :)

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 belongs
And 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 :)

5 Month Anniversary :)

Technically August 5th was our 5 month anniversary. But it was a Sunday. So today is when we kinda celebrated it :) 
I started the day off by spending about 5 hours on my online classes. Then I got in an argument with my sister. It wasn't exactly turning out to be such a good day. While I was taking my sister to the library, Jared was on his way over to pick me up for our date. But I knew he'd get to my house before I got home. So I left the door unlocked and told him to just wait inside. 
When I got home, I walked inside to see this:
 While Jared was just sitting there playing the guitar :) I was speechless. He was adorable :) And he seriously treats me like a princess. I don't deserve him. Not one bit. 
After we left my house, we went to his to make a fancy dinner together :) All I really did was make the instant mashed potatoes. He did everything else :) He put out a table cloth, got the fancy silverware out,  lit candles, and even bought fancy sparkling grape juice stuff :) (not martinelli's, but better).
Simply said, It was delicious. 
After dinner, he told me to sit back and relax while he cleaned everything. 
I tried to help bring stuff over to him, but he ended up doing everything. 
I feel like he's always doing so much for me, and I never get to do enough for him. I know I just sound like a little girl who is infatuated with a guy. But he's really the best. I don't know what I'd do without him. Once again, I feel like I don't deserve him. 
After dinner we got a movie from RedBox and went back to my house. While we were sitting there cuddling, the thought popped into my head. "You have exactly a month left with him" and it hit me... I'm going to have to say "See you later" 4 weeks from tonight. I broke down. Only one month left with this amazing guy before we have to spend more than 2 years apart :( 
Here's to making the best of the next 4 weeks.
I love you Jared <3

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. "
<3
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.

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

How I Met Jared

For anyone who doesn't know the background story of Jared and I, it's kind of complicated. I know everyone says, "It's complicated" when it's really not that complicated. But it in fact, was complicated. Here's a little story about all the events that lead to us finally dating :)
