We woke up this
morning in Indianapolis to the sound of accordion music. Amanda
played the song she is playing for adjudication at the accordion
convention in Chicago this week. Several other unsuspecting people in
the Residence Inn also had the pleasure of greeting the morning to
the sweet sounds of Amanda's accordion!
The main event of
our trip was a visit to the Indianapolis temple open house. We
thought it would be nice for Nolan to see the inside of a temple. We
were surprised how much we enjoyed the tour as well. The temple was
so beautifully appointed, and had such a reverent feel. You could
tell the people of Indiana were very happy to get a temple in their
state. It was a medium sized temple, and much smaller than we were
used to, but it was one of the most beautiful temples we've seen.
We also had the
pleasure of visiting with Sister Peel, who is serving a mission in
Indiana. We knew her parents (and grandparents) in Littleton. We even
hosted her parents' wedding reception in our back yard. Sister Peel
was just as beautiful and vivacious as we remember her mother at that
age!
We said goodbye to
Amanda and Nolan and started our long trek home. We were hopeful it
would take less than the estimated 9 hours.
Sadly, that was not
to be! I-70 was a long line of semi trucks clogging both lanes for a
good portion of the trip! However, a late night arrival in Maryland
is a small price to pay for such wonderful memories!
