Our Valentines weekend

What a weekend it was. It started with our stake throwing a Valentines dinner for the adults on Friday night, and we were able to go.  We had steak and ate with friends.  There was dancing afterwards, but our little group decided to go back to a house and play games instead of sticking around for dancing.  All the husbands were excited to ditch the dancing.  We thought it was a great night.  

The next day, we got up and headed to the valley.  We went down to help my mom and step dad clean out Grandma Peterson's house to get it ready to sell.  There was a lot to do and we stayed there all day.  We were able to take home a few things like some instruments, books and pictures.
On Valentine's Day Sunday, we headed off to church with my grandparents and got to eat dinner with them.  Then, we had to leave their house for a little while so we went temple hopping.  We started at the Gilbert temple, finally got to see it in person and walked around admiring all of it.  Then, I really wanted to head to the Mesa Temple since it is my favorite one.  We got to hang out at the Visitors Center for a while and let the boys try all the cool gadgets they had there.  I loved watching them enjoy the church videos and seeing their love for going to the temple.  I thought that getting to be at the temple where our eternal family began was a great way to spend Valentines Day.
