This past Thursday night, we went to the midnight (technically 12:15) premier of The Hobbit!
First, I made sure I had plenty of snacks to enjoy. We brought:
Homemade popcorn with white cheddar seasoning
Pomegranate seeds (healthy yet so yummy)
The best gummy bears in the world
Dr. Pepper (gotta stay away, right?)
Munchies (for Jared)
And some homemade cookies :)
Funny side story: I bought the gummy bears from Orange Leaf (a frozen yogurt place over in Highland) because if you haven't ever tried them, they're the best gummy bears on the face of the planet. The flavors are just so good. So I went to Orange Leaf and filled up a cup that's usually used for Frozen Yogurt. The girl working gave me a kind of funny look. But who cares :)
ANYWAY,
We arrived at the theatre almost an hour early. It was completely packed. Like, it was hard to walk 5 steps in any direction. We had to wait for a while.
We were super excited :)
The movie seemed slow to me during the first half. Probably cuz I was seriously about to fall asleep at any second. But then the scene with Bilbo and Gollum came and I was awake the rest of the time. If you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE IT!
Wow, I really need to get better at blogging. Like seriously...
I'm not even really sure what this post is going to be about. But it's going to be an update on recent events. Ok so I think we can all attest that November went by SO quickly. Along with the rest of the year, actually. Thanksgiving was awesome :) Except for the fact that the night before Thanksgiving, I woke up at 3am throwing up. No food for Desiree on Thanksgiving... But it was still a great day. Jared and I were together from that morning, until late that night. We started with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade at my house. Random Fact: Jared had never watched the parade before. And it's one of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving, so we had to watch it together :) Then we went to his house for dinner where I managed to keep down a roll. Then we went to his best friends house for another dinner. Then we finally ended up at my house for yet another dinner.
We ended the night with Jared going off to work a long shift at Kohls for Black Friday (11pm - 12pm) and of course I still went shopping even with a 101.3 fever. It was worth it :)
<3
Last Saturday we went on an awesome date in Salt Lake. The date involved driving around SLC for 30 minutes trying to find parking. Jared got pretty frustrated. But seriously, I think everyone decided to go to Salt Lake that night. I felt like I was in New York City.
First, we went ice skating outside at Gallivan Plaza :)
My camera was being all blurry and stupid...
Sometimes Jared needed a break and had to hold onto the sides of the rink.
Haha no, he just thought he was being funny.
After ice skating we stood in line for what felt like 45 minutes at Subway in City Creek Mall. Like I said, I swear everyone was in SLC that night... And apparently they all wanted Subway. After we finally finished eating, it was off to Temple Square :) The best thing about this date was the weather! It wasn't even cold at all.
We started at the Joseph Smith building :)
Then we just walked around the temple and probably provided way too much PDA for all the Temple Square goers that night..
What an amazing end to a wonderful night :) Being with my sweetheart at Temple Square during Christmas time. It doesn't get much better than that :) I feel like we've been together for such a long time. There's just something special between us where I feel like I've known him my whole life. Speaking of which, our 9 month anniversary was yesterday. We spent it eating chocolate covered oreos, more chocolate stuff, and watching Elf. I love him so much and every day I get to spend with him is such a blessing that I try my best not to take for granted. Since I've already done the whole "waiting for a missionary" thing, I know how much of a gift it is to spend time with the person I love. I would always say, "If I could just go back.. I'd really cherish my time with him". So that's what I'm trying to do now :)
I put together a little video of random events that have happened since Halloween :)
If the video decides to be stupid and not work.. You can just head over to my youtube channel at www.youtube.com/desimoore14 :)
I know I asked you all for your email address so I could invite you to my new blog. Turns out it's only letting me invite like 60 people. And that doesn't seem fair. So I'm opening it up to be public again. Please feel free to go over and check it out :) It's what I'm using now as my main blog. Here's the address:
If you'd like an invite to my Desiree/Jared blog (aka my current blog) you need to leave a comment with your email address. For all of you who have already left your email addresses, you've been invited :)
Also, thanks for all the questions! I'll be answering them all in a video that I'll make next Monday :)
I'm finally back in Utah after 5 months in Hawaii. Although I will be returning to Hawaii in 3 months.
It's been a long time since I posted... But here's why.
Things were all crazy and dramatic in the MG group on facebook and people kept taking sides. Because of that, I decided to stop blogging for a while. But now I'm back :)
This blog is not JUST about being a missionary girlfriend. I do recall there have been posts about Justin Bieber, my love for the food network, and other random thoughts.
Now, a little update on my relationship with Preston: This week he told me that he thinks it would be best for him if we stop talking for awhile. That means no emails, no letters, no videos. It'll be weird not sending him weekly emails but I really believe it's a good thing :) It's time for me to focus on Jared and time for Preston to focus on his mission.
Alright, enough of that :)
I don't really know what else to write about.. So I'll just insert a video :)
Recently I've got some questions through emails, messages on YouTube, comments, facebook that sound like this:
How could you possibly be dating when you are/were such a dedicated missionary girlfriend?
How did you and Jared meet?
How did you know you were supposed to be dating?
Instead of writing about it, I just made another video. Sorry for all the videos, I'm just a video person. So if anyone has any other questions, feel free to comment/message/email me.
