The Draper Temple was dedicated in a series of 12 dedication sessions over three days - March 20, 21, and 22. After the months of open house activities and service opportunities, it is nice to finally see "our" temple opened. Trish served the morning of the first day of dedication sessions, March 20. She was privileged to serve as an usher right outside the Celestial Room. She got to meet President Monson and President Eyring.
We then attended the dedication session on Sunday morning at 9 am. We got to watch it from the marriage waiting room on TV screens. We were privileged to sit next to our bishop, Ted Hill, and his wife Becky. Later that afternoon we took the children to a dedication session that was broadcast to our Stake Center. One of the highlights of the day was Trish and Ellie (and to a lesser extent, Peter) manually personalizing all of our white handkerchiefs with embroidering.
For both of us and our children, this has been a wonderful opportunity to serve, to get to now so many more of our neighbors, and to re-dedicate ourselves to the House of the Lord. Trish and I have already scheduled a time to visit in two weeks.

Sounds like your heavy involvement with the Draper temple dedication has been a big a blessing for your family as our involvement a few years ago with the dedication of the Newport Beach temple. Sweet memories to savor and testimonies strengthened.
