After the dance, we drove up to the top of a hill behind some orchards and checked out a really great make-out spot that our Bishop told us about. You can see all the lights of the tri-cities. Okay, okay. He did tell us about it, but not the part about making out. Really fun night AND! It was our 3rd date in a row. If you don't go on dates with your spouse. Do it! I can tell the difference it is making in our relationship. Thank you to our home teachers for extending the "challenge" to us.
Saturday night we had some friends over for dinner as well as my mom and Dale who were visiting from Spokane for the weekend. I made a pork roast that I thought turned out really tasty. We also had a yummy salad, roasted potatoes, focaccia bread, sauteed mushrooms, and a rotisserie chicken (when the roast was done cooking it looked quite a bit smaller than what it started out, so I had Justin pick up a chicken just in case).
Afterward, we fired up the new backyard fire pit and made some s'mores. I totally love this thing that we won. I have a feeling we are going to get a lot of use out of it.
Goofy Katelyn. She is so goofy. I think it's genetic. And yes, it comes from my side of the family.
Happy Valentine's Day! Katelyn and I worked on Valentine's for ALL (17) of her cousins as well as her (6) grandparents and mailed them out. We also made some valentine treats and a few more cards for a handful of her friends that live here. I forgot to take pictures of our creations, but it was fun and she loved giving her friends their treats.
So Justin and I were laughing this weekend. We agreed that it is a good thing that neither of our love languages are "Gifts". Because this is what he got me: A "spork" for camping (the cool part is that it's PINK!), and this tent broom and dust pan. He also bought a movie "for us". Well, two movies actually- "The Burbs" and "Money Pit" . Some wives would be really upset to get a spork for Valentine's Day, but not me. I actually don't care if he gets me a gift at all really. A card is fine. He gave me a card and bought be some pretty roses. He outdid me this year, because all I got him was a card...unless he wants to count the dishwasher we just ordered. HA! Like I said...not our love language. AT All! I love my guy more and more every year!

Happy V-Day!! Glad it was a good one. I remember the days of dragging you to dances. And the drama that inevitably followed at the dance. Those were good times, good times. . .
Wait, you mean there were weirdos at the Spokane singles dances??!
:)
That's awesome you and Justin got to do some serious dating. I agree - everyone couple needs to do that more. Us included. And it's awesome you too know each other's love languages (and non-love-languages) so well - we're still working on that!
Who's the bald guy kneeling next to the fire? I Love you Babe and am glad you are excited about the fireplace! I am too...
And for everyone out there... Those gifts were more for me than for DeAnne. She always steals my spork (just like the one I got her) and I hate dirt in my tent (I figure the amount will just increase with the increased number of kids) and I LOVE "The Burbs"... thus the Valentines Day gifts!
sorry... - Justin
Hey, we had fun too. You CAN move. What are you talking about? I love dancing with you because you can let loose. If you hadn't been there I would have only danced to slow songs. Good times. Maybe we should drive out to that spot again and have our own dance party, minus the steep downward driving.
Yeah gifts is not our love language either. Mine is service. And I have drilled that one into Jeff's head enough. I tink he finally gets it. So we had the missionaries over for dinner on V-day and Jeff made the entire meal! Ham cooked with a really yummy homemade glaze and pinneapple, roasted potatoes, and broccoli. MMMMM it was good.
