Jared's 20th Birthday

Jared's birthday was July 2nd, but I realized I never wrote a post about the package I sent! So here it is :) I sent it from here in Italy, with only items that I brought over from America. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, all he could say was "American snack food" haha so this is what he got :) Some of his favorites. 

Beef jerkey

Cheez-Its (his fave)

Combos

Oreos

Popcorn

Some Italian candy

Balloons

A birthday card with 5 euros inside telling him to go buy some birthday gelato :)

a Memory card with a birthday message from me.

And of course, a long letter.

Also, I made a shirt that says, "This is My P-day Shirt" that I thought was pretty funny. It also has a little message on the inside of the shirt. I used fabric paint and painted a heart right where his heart would be when he wears it. On the inside of the heart I painted "Your Desiree" because he has my heart :)

And last but not least, this tie that I made before I left :) 

I know he's gonna love it if the Italian mail system ever decides to let the package show up at the mission home. Keepin' my fingers crossed. 

ALSO

I celebrated his birthday even though we couldn't physically be together :)

Only one more birthday away from each other until we'll be together for all of our many birthdays to come :) 

Happy 20th Birthday Elder Wright!! :)

Today. Wednesday, December 28th 2011 is the day my sweetheart, Preston Dale Wright turns                 20 years old!!!

I am just proud of him. So I am going to celebrate this blessed day by sharing 20 reasons why I love him

2. I love that he appreciates a good key change in a song - just like I do.

5. I love that he waited in line with me ALL day long to see Twilight :) while wearing an "I love Twilight" Basically I just love that he goes to sappy chick-flicks with me.
6. I love his attitude towards his family and his mom. He's so respectful in every way possible.
7. I love that he would tell me "Goodnight" and "Good morning" and "I love you" every single day. And how he'd wait up for me to get ready for bed because he wanted to call me to say Goodnight.

16. I love the way he says he loves me after he teases me.
17. I love that every day, I find a new thing to love about him.
18. I love that he smiles and always tells me, "You're gonna love it" when I have to go to a doctor to get a shot, or get blood taken. Because he knows how much I hate it.  I also love that he always comes with me :) 
19. I love that he trusts me. 
20. I love that he loves me, and makes me feel like I'm perfect for him :) Because I know that he's perfect for me :)
