Here's another funny mom story...
On our way to Utah for Spring Break, I made this really, really, really long chain. It's color coordinated by color and week. It is ABSOLUTELY perfect! I was sooo proud of it, as it freaking took me an hour and a half to make it. Dallin and I were telling everyone about this chain and even hung it up in my room. Soo my mom comes into town to help with wedding planning and we show her the chain in my room. She keeps looking at it, as though she's trying to figure it out. I tell her how cool it is because it's color coordinated by week and we have a little picture that we move we day hanging on a link...and on and on. This chain is seriously the BEST one ever. Anyways so she's staring at it, and then goes..."OHHHHH....its a countdown chain. Like a countdown chain until the wedding right??" Dallin and I are laughing hysterically and ask her why else I would spend an hour and a half making a chain. Not just for fun of course! She responds simply...I thought you might want to put it on your Christmas tree. Old-fashion much?
Love you MOMMY!!

Aluminum Briefcases
I have no idea where to start with this one...I guess ya'll will need a bit of background information for any of this to make sense.
About a week and a half ago, Dallin sent out a text to seriously like a thousand people around midnight. People were texting him back like crazy but he wouldn't tell me what in the world he was doing. So being the patient person that I am, I gave up. The next day I got a text from a friend asking if Dallin had found his aluminum briefcase. I asked what he was talking about and he told me to just ask Dallin. So I forwarded the message to him. He said that he had. The next class that I had was with Dallin and the guy who had texted me, as well as a bunch of our other friends. Dallin walks into class and everyone is telling me that they got texts asking about aluminum briefcases too! But Dallin tells me that if I promise not to say anything he'll tell me what they were for. He says the CB asked him to help him find an aluminum briefcase for his guns to store them in. He even PINKY PROMISED that he was telling the truth. So I believe him...kinda. And stop asking questions. Then over the next week, these stupid aluminum briefcases start appearing in my life. I went to put somehthing in Dallin's trunk and there were two in there. A few days later, there was one in the back seat of my car. I was seriously getting tired of all the talk of aluminum briefcases and not knowing whether or not he was telling the truth.
Friday night we planned to go out to dinner. All I knew was to dress up. Business casual or better. I thought maybe this was going to be it. Although, Dallin said it wasn't here yet. The night came and went. But it was seriously one of the best nights ever. I got way spoiled with the best dinner ever, with the best boyfriend :) Soo cheesy...but way cute! But on the downside...he tells me that it won't be here until Friday.
Saturday we make plans to go hike in the foothills to see the sunset on Monday. Little bit of a timeline for you...we get out of class at 6:45pm and the sun was going to be setting around 7:25. We sped over to the mountain, hiked very quickly and make it to the rock we'd plan to watch the sunset at. As soon as the sunsets, Dallin is like ready to run down the mountain. I'm pitching a fit about not wanting to head back yet. He says I have two minutes. Seriously, the second those two minutes were up he started briskly walking down the mountain. I was jokingly complaining, and being a brat. When we get to the bottom and are starting back down the road to the car. I see a car coming towards us that looks like CB's. The car was speeding, swerves into the other lane of oncoming traffic and slams on the breaks. CB and DA get out of the car. Both wearing all black suits, black ties, and dark, black sunglasses. DA is carrying a HUGE gun...like a rifle or something. CB is holding a....drum roll please...a FREAKIN ALUMINUM BRIEFCASE (there is no way to explain the real frustration I was feeling with these dumb things by this point). I'm crying because I'm laughing soo hard. CB hands the aluminum briefcase to Dallin (who I've forgotten about for past little bit) and says that he has a message for him from Howie from Deal or No Deal.
Pause...really quick.
So on our first date, Dallin and I went on a double date with DA and CF to Hinckle Family Fun Center. We planned Deal or No Deal almost the entire night. We've gone back multiple times just to play again. And have over 1000 tickets saved up :)
OK...Unpause.
CB and DA get back into the car, flip it around like they do in the movies and speed off. I'm in shock about what's just happened. still laughing as we walk the rest of the way to the car. When we get there, Dallin sets the ALUMINUM BRIEFCASE on the hood of the car, says he thinks there's something inside and opens it. Inside there is a ring box! He opens it, takes out the ring. gets on one knee and as he's putting the ring on my finger says: JeTaya Lynne Slora, Deal or No Deal. At this point my tears from laughing, turned to tears of joy.
And then....I said Deal!
JUNE 24th at the DC temple baby! Don't be late :)

Center pieces=Animal Cruelty
So a of weeks ago, I was talking to my mom about wedding themes and I mentioned that themes are retarded, because they are, and that I just wanted GOLDFISH! I had this adorable idea of having cute tiny goldfish swimming around in vases on the tables with floating candles and flowers. I'll post pictures later. Today I stopped at PetCo to inquire about the cost of Fancy Goldfish and how to make sure that 20 would be there on the day needed. I explained that I was getting married and needed them for the centerpieces. The PetCo employee looked me down as though I was a MURDERER! She then explained that PetCo did not permit purchasing their animals for such uses, as this is clearly ANIMAL CRUELTY. Like the what the heck?! To make matters better, she tells that I would be allowed to use their goldfish feeder fish for my centerpiece. But I'm thinking who's to decide which type of fish is worth living! This clearly reassures that the world is superficial and shallow. Now this is where it gets good. I go home to tell my beautiful room mate D about the prejudice experience at PetCo. When I asked her to guess what happened to me, she responds with excitement, thinking that PetCo would be as nice as to give the goldfish as gift. Uh no. I tell her the story and then decide to call my mom. And here's the conversation...
Me: So...I went PetCo and told them that I was getting married this summer
Mom: Uhhh why would you tell them that?
Me: Mom! Because I need goldfish.
Mom: For what?
Me: THE CENTERPIECES! :) I told you about them.
Mom: Ohhhh real goldfish?
Me: Uhhh duh. What else were you thinking?
Mom: I thought you meant goldfish crackers.
Me: WHAT!?!!?!
Mom: Sorry...I guess I'm just child minded.
D: (in the background) Wait you told her the idea, she thought cracker goldfish, and STILL thought the idea was cute!?!
Mom: Oh well real goldfish are a good idea too...
We love my mom....
Me: So...I went PetCo and told them that I was getting married this summer
Mom: Uhhh why would you tell them that?
