The activity started with a swing lesson. Rich and I took a basic swing lesson while in college, so this brought back some fun memories. We both enjoyed the lesson and dancing together.
After the lesson we had dinner and dessert. We had chicken salad on croissants, Caesar salad, grapes, and brownies with strawberries. The food was delicious and the company was even better. It was nice for Rich and I to be alone...well except for the other 20+ couples there.
After dinner there was a dance. Rich and I started the dance, but only a few couples joined in. Throughout the night the music was songs the couples had requested. When our song, "The Promise", by Tracy Chapman, started to play we were busy helping with the food. Rich drew my attention to the song and we danced to the end of it. Hearing that song brought back memories of our wedding day and we laughed and smiled as we reminisced.
At the activity Autumn took photos of the couples. We thought it looked like a cheesy prom picture, but it was fun.On Valentine's Day we woke up and got ready for church. I made sour cream cheese pancakes and raspberry syrup. It was a nice quiet morning for everyone except Rich who had to prepare for a talk. Since my parents were here late watching Ava they stayed and went to church with us. Rich gave a nice talk about Love.
After Sacrament meeting we came home and prepared to go to Gridley. We went to Rich's parents because Anne and her family were in town. We were happy to see everyone and Ava had fun with her cousins.

Our ward had a Valentines Party too. It was supposed to have dancing so we weren't going to go. Luckily not many people were going to be in town so they cancelled the dancing and went with games instead, so we went. I'm glad you guys can enjoy dancing though and I love the cheesy prom picture!
