The Hobbit!!

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:
  1. Homemade popcorn with white cheddar seasoning
  2. Pomegranate seeds (healthy yet so yummy)
  3. The best gummy bears in the world
  4. Dr. Pepper (gotta stay away, right?)
  5. Munchies (for Jared)
  6. 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!

A Ring? What!!? :D

Yesterday, November 5th, was mine and Jared's 8 month anniversary :D
We had this awesome date, but I'll just cut to the chase. He gave me a "promise ring"!!!!!!!
 But here's the thing. I made promises to Preston (my first missionary) that I didn't keep. And I felt completely terrible about it. So I'm not going to make that mistake again. I've told Jared before that I can't make any promises while he's gone on his mission. Anyway, this is how it went :) 
We drove up to this beautiful lookout over the whole valley. I thought we just went up there to talk or cuddle like we usually do. But then this is how the conversation went:

Me: *looking out the car window* It's so pretty up here! *turns around and looks at Jared as he's holding the ring out*
Jared: "I know I told you in the beginning of our relationship that I'd never ask you to wait for me while I'm on my mission. But Desiree, will you wait for me?
Me: "Are you serious?"
Jared: "..."
Me: "I'll wait for you, as long as it's in the Lord's plan for me :)"

I learned that hard way that sometimes we make plans for our lives that aren't what's really best for us. God know's what's best for us. I don't want to be 100% set on something and then realize it's not for me. So I consider the ring a "remember him" ring :) I seriously love it though. It's gorgeous and exactly my style. He knows me too well :) And I love that he WANTS me to wait for him. Because I WANT to wait for him.
<3
In other news, our 8 month anniversary was definitely one to remember. While I was at work earlier in the day, he kept texting me saying how he's been anticipating this anniversary for a while, and how he was so excited for it. In my mind I thought, "Why is this one so special? It's just 8 months..." but now I know why :) Before he gave me the ring, we went rock climbing.

 And then he took me to my favorite place. Zupas. I'm seriously addicted to that place. Then we went and saw this movie!
K I'm not even kidding. This movie made me cry. If you haven't seen it, go see it. 
And then after the movie is when we drove up to the lookout :) 

I just want to say, I'm a happy girl :)

Ask Desiree :)

Hey everyone! :)
I'm still alive. This blog is just currently "under construction" because of the fact that I'm not exactly still a MG. I will be again though, but not yet :)
I've said this before, but I have a different blog that I'm currently using. It's mainly about my relationship with Jared. If you'd like an invite, leave me a comment.

I know some of you may have questions, so now if your chance to ask. I'll try to answer any type of questions as honestly as I can. You can ask me about what happened with Preston, anything about being an MG, relationship advice, anything about my relationship with Jared, his upcoming mission, etc... You can even ask what my favorite type of pizza is. I don't even care :) I have just gotten quite a few questions from people, so this is my chance to answer them. Leave a comment on youtube or here, and I'll answer them in my next video :)

I love you all!! :)

Meet Jared :)

(Warning: This post is not about me waiting for my missionary, so if you are looking for those posts, scroll down a little. This is something a little different)
<3
Jared is my boyfriend while I'm waiting with 9 months to go.
I know all of you are "team Preston" but since Jared has become a part of my waiting process, I thought I'd include him with one post dedicated to him.
He really has supported me with waiting. He's such a sweetheart, and has been a wonderful blessing. 
We've been dating 2 months today. He leaves on his mission sometime in the near future, so I don't know what will happen. But since this blog is supposed to be a diary of my wait, I just had to include Jared. Because he's become a wonderful part of my wait.
Instead of writing about Jared, I'll just.... show him to you :)

As if that wasn't enough, here's another 18 minutes of Jared and I answering some questions about how well we know each other. Sometimes we get bored on Friday nights and so this is what happens..

Angel, One Direction, New Hair? My Roomie, Lithuania, Preston, Randomness, etc...

It's Wednesday night.
I just finished my finals :) 
So I thought to myself, "Now that I'm not studying like a mad person... What should I do?"
And the idea popped into my head.
BLOG.
So here I am :) I'm going to throw a lot of random ideas and thoughts at you. Probably a little venting too. But here we go. 
This has been one of my favorite songs. Cody is adorable and if you haven't listened to him yet, you totally should. Just sayin'

Speaking of beaches (ok well we weren't talking about beaches, but I just watched Cody's video and there is a beach in it, so I got the thought of beaches in my head. Anyway..)
Me and my roomie who is leaving for the summer got our pictures taken at our beach the other day. 
I never wanna leave this place.
Anyway...
Preston sent me this picture during our email chat on Monday. He's still the same Preston he's always been :) And he's wearing the BYUH shirt I sent him.. hehe :) 

So, I really don't have that many baby names picked out. But ever since the first time I saw A Walk To Remember, I've always wanted to name my first son Landon. And I'm seriously going to. Preston is ok with it :) But now, I've decided on my second favorite boy name. Are you ready? It's...
Liam.
I just love it. And of course, my inspiration came from.... 
Liam Hemsworth!
Although I'm "team peeta" I have always loved Liam Hemsworth, ever since The Last Song.
And my next inspiration came from Liam Payne. Ya'll know One Direction, right? Of course you do. Well, I think Liam is just freaking adorable. I kinda like him a lot.
Speaking of One Direction. I'm sure you've all heard What Makes You Beautiful. It's an amazing song. If you haven't listened to it yet, go do it now. But i also loooooove their song "One Thing" and think the music video is quite cute. 
p.s. I love the way they dress. 
Ok, moving on.. :)
I think I'm ready for another change in my life. I've been a pretty big fan of change every since Preston left. He's been gone 14 months and out of that 14 months I've only lived at home for 6 months of it. I like change :) So here's what I'm thinking. 
I wanna dye my hair.
I've been blonde forever.. I look the EXACT same that I did two years ago. It's time to mix things up. I'm thinking this color might be cool... :) 
Thoughts? Comments??? :) 
Also, while we're on the topic of "change" I've really really been thinking about going back with ILP to Head Teach in Lithuania summer 2013. Yeah... That's the summer after Preston gets home. And I know I'll want to spend every second with him. But for those of you who really know me, you know I have this appetite for traveling. I love it. I've always wanted to live in Europe too.
How could I pass up an opportunity to live in Europe for 4 months for FREE? 
I literally wouldn't have to pay anything.

Plus, they'd give me money to spend while I'm there
Plus, I'd get to visit places like Sweden, Latvia, Poland, Finland, Ukraine, Estonia.. etc..
Plus, I'd get to be around little kids :) (my FAVORITE!)
Plus, it'd look good on my resume, seeing as i'm majoring in Elementary Ed.
Plus, It's the same type of place where Preston is serving. Hungary wouldn't be too far away.
Plus, yeah...
It looks beautiful to me :) 
Anyway, I think this post is long enough now.
To those of you who read it, thank you for listening to my random rambling. 
Only one semester left until Preston is home. CRAZY!!! 
I love life and everything Heavenly Father has been blessing me with. I really am SUCH a lucky girl. I'd like to close this post with this quote that I've been trying to live by:

<3 <3 <3

ONE YEAR DOWN!


Feb 9th 2012
(I know that was technically yesterday.. but it doesn't matter)
Preston has officially been gone for one year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 We have now passed the halfway mark. And now he only has 11 months left because he comes home in January. Seriously, yesterday I was freaking out. I walked out of my house and went to school, basically looking/acting like this...
So instead of writing about how excited I was. I'll just show you the video that contains all my happiness :) Enjoy!
p.s. I really do love him more than the day he left. I didn't expect the first year to be so easy. I can't wait to experience this next year. There's no way I'm not waiting for him :)
You can't tell. But in this picture I was dying inside. This was taken on the curbside at the MTC a year ago from yesterday. I just really can't believe we've come this far :)

Merriest Christmas Ever!!

I will never forget this Christmas. It was the first year I actually "came home" for Christmas. It was the first year without my sweetheart. It was the first Christmas since I've lived in Utah where there wasn't any snow on the ground. It was the first Christmas I got to skype with him :) It was the first year where I wasn't too excited about opening any of my presents because I had already opened my package from him. And nothing beats his presents :) Basically... This Christmas was amazing. Here's a little view of it:
We got so much time to talk. I really am one lucky girl :) 
"Ok I'm gonna take a picture"
"Should I do this?"
"Yes. It looks great :)"
I opened this package in front of him over skype :) so he got to see my reaction. And let me tell you. I was freaking out. I got the one thing I've been wanting for SO long!! His name tag!!! I also got:
One of his ties soaked in his cologne <3
A memory card with 30 videos <3
An amazing light up glass keychain with our picture etched inside <3
A little scarf <3
A card with Hungarian money inside <3
And of course, an amazing letter <3 <3 :) :) 
I am in love with it :) and him :) he's seriously the best.
A few weeks ago Preston asked me to email him some pictures. So I said, 
"Of course! Here are a couple of my favorites. Am I allowed to know why you randomly need these pictures?"
"I just love you so much :) is that a good enough reason? :) Because you are the love of my life!! :)"
"Ok..."
But now I know why he needed pictures. For this :) :) ^^^ I freaking love it!!! Without fail, he gets me thee best gifts every year.
I wore the cologne soaked tie all day. Who wouldn't? You can't really see it but I'm also wearing his name tag <3
My sister gave this to me for Christmas. She knows me all too well :) 
Last but not least, the same sister gave this JB poster. I'm seriously so excited about it :D
Like I already said, I will never forget this Christmas :) Only one more to go before he gets home! And only 136 days till Mothers Day..... :) 
Here's a little thought on talking to him at Christmas. It was the best thing in the world. We weren't awkward, we just laughed and talked like he never even left :) And I mean waiting hasn't been getting harder as time goes on or anything. But it recharged my waiting battery 110% :) But for those of you who didn't get to talk to your boys, you are also lucky, in a way. I wouldn't say that I had a "post phone call crash" but as soon as hung up, a little piece inside of me felt as though I was back at the beginning. Cuz for those couple hours that I got to talk to him, it felt like he was home. And hanging up felt like saying "see you later" again. Of course I was still happy :) but it just made me miss him a lot more than normal. I'm fine now though :) In fact, I'm more than fine. I am so freaking pumped for this next year! I am so excited for the packages that I have planned :) I'm not worried that waiting will get hard during these next 14 months. Because I know it won't :) I'm living my life, writing him every week, praying for him every day, focusing on myself, and just having fun :) He's still on my mind 24/7, but that's just because he's always with me. Always in my heart. Which is why I feel like I can be happy, and enjoy everything that this next year will bring :) I just can't wait!!

It's TODAY!

It's finally August 25th!! You know what that means? I leave for China tonight!!!
I will hopefully still be able to blog all the time. If you would like to follow all the experiences and adventures I embark on while there, you can follow my China blog: http://desireegoestochina.blogspot.com/
But no worries, I'll still write on this blog :) just not as much... :) 
As far as me and my mish go, we are doing wonderful and still more in love than ever!
I highly recommend living your own life and experiencing different things while your missionary is gone. I know this experience is going to be one of the most amazing experiences of my whole life. 
I'm just so excited and wanna leave now! Just 5 more hours til I leave for the airport!!! :) 
We fly to California, then Korea, then Hong Kong and then finally China!
Wish me luck!!

People are Faster than Letters :)

As most of you know, my boy is serving in Hungary. He teaches this English class over there and makes friends. Then, these friends add me on facebook. I guess he talks about me or something... :) Anywho, they are the nicest people. They take pictures of him and then send them to me. Seriously, too nice :) 
Yesterday I was talking to this lady he teaches named Bernadett. She's not a member, which is cool for me because I feel like I can help do my own missionary work when I talk to some of these people :) 
So she asked me if there was anything she could tell Preston for me. This is what i said... :)

Then she gets on facebook today and says:

My day is made :) 
p.s. I told her to tell him I'm sorry about Monday because that's when I fell asleep 7 minutes before he got online to email. It was the first time that has happened. And I felt terrible.
But I like to think that this is the start of a beautiful friendship :)

39 Days-ish

I leave for China in about 39 days :) Am I freaking out because I'm so excited? YES! This week was training. I'm going with a fellow MG, Kaydee. We met a couple more people from our group going to Kaiyin. I can tell we're going to become great friends :)
I learned a lot and I cannot wait to get there :) 
<3<3<3
In other news, Preston is on his 3rd transfer today! :) You know what that means? Only 13 left! He is getting a new companion who is only on his 6th transfer. So they are both going to have to work even harder. I'm excited for him though :) Also, this past week he finally got my anniversary package that I sent him :) He said he was so amazingly happy. He even said it was the happiest day of his mission so far. Hopefully he was exaggerating about that though :) 

Another thing that happened this week was the Harry Potter premier. I had to work the midnight showing. I'd never seen so many people at the theatre in my life. All I could think was, "Where are we putting all these people? There's no way they'll all fit in our theatre" but somehow, they did.

Honestly, this week has been one of the busiest weeks of the summer for me. I love it :) Time is flying. Staying busy really is key. I'm so happy every day and before I know it, I'll be at 6 months :)
p.s. I really love Elder Wright <3

3 Years!!! :D

Oh my gosh. I cannot believe that today is our 3 year anniversary :) I could write a novel about our journey and memories but I won't. I just want to share some pictures of our journey thus far :)
When Twilight first came out, we made shirts and waited in line all day for the midnight premier :) He didn't even like Twilight.. But he liked me :) 
We went to Prom our Junior year since we had only started dating the summer before :) 
We also went to Prom our senior year :) 
We spent our 1 year anniversary up Provo canyon :)
He stayed by my side after I got my wisdom teeth out :) 
He took me to cool places like Squaw Peak :)
We got to visit Stanford University :)
We spent time on the beach in San Francisco :)
We also spent time at Huntington Beach the summer before :)
Then we graduated together :) 2010 baby!
Our 2 year anniversary was amazing :) We really like chocolate covered strawberries and martinelli's :)
July 4th 2010 :)
Fall 2010 I went away to college and he went away to Texas for a month. After he got home, I went home every weekend :) But we'd send a lot of pictures back and forth. Including this one :)
He would also come and visit me at school :)
This was 12 days before he got his mission call :) 
8 days after he got his mission call, we flew to Texas to visit his dad :) We also might have spent 12 hours in Cowboys stadium watching football... :) 
Our last Christmas together was amazing :) We were inseparable :)
Our favorite thing to do was to take the trax to slc and go to temple square and ice skate outside at Gallivan Plaza :) 
Feb 9th 2011 is the day he entered the MTC. But our story does not stop there ladies and gentleman :) it continues every single day :) 
Even though today is our anniversary and instead of being together like we are in all the pictures above, we are still together in heart :)

I can't wait to find out what the next 3 years have to hold :)
