Drive Home

Abi is back from Brazil. Here's a pic we took this morning before we headed back home. 

She's sporting a futbol uniform from her "favorite team" S.C. Corinthians Paulista. We thought SC stood for Santa Catarina, but looks like it's actually Sport Club. So Corey went and picked her up last night in Las Vegas, while I stayed back in the hotel room and blogged (still working on finishing December! I'm closer...) Abi took pictures of her trip via a little digital canon camera (SD 750 Powershot) so I'll have to find a way to get those from her later, cause she can't text them to me. Corey and I were going to go on a ride this morning, but we visited a little bit so he didn't get to bed until 11pm, and I blogged for a little more after that until I saw that he had gone to bed, then I went to bed, but we didn't formulate our plan of attack, and then we both slept in until 7:30, and that was when breakfast started being served at the Townehome Suites, so then we figured we'd just have breakfast and head home. So we missed riding Zen, but we got to have breakfast with Abi. 

(Sorry Corey, I took two pics but that was your smile in both of them, haha it's ok!) We were on our way home at 8:40. Abi drove. Corey continued reading "Endurance" (he's almost done). I read "Simple Abundance". I got through April yesterday, and now I am in May, yay I'm catching up. 

I was ok sitting in the back. I liked looking out the window and reading, even if it was a little scary sometimes (I struggle when someone else is driving, I think I'm a bit of a control freak). Corey teased Abi that she drove like an aggressive driver from São Paulo! She defended Brazil drivers and said Utah drivers are worse. Abi that might mean you're in trouble cause you might be a dangerous combination of both of those!

It's good to have her home. She had like 48 hours of travel, to get back from Brazil, leaving there Sunday evening, flight to Miami, a layover in Dallas (was able to visit Grant), then Las Vegas, drive from there to St. George, and now our drive today. Probably more like 56 hours. We arrived home at 12:40. I did a ride up the canyon at 3:20 and a little bit in the neighborhoods: 13.05 miles, 1 hour 42 minutes. I got up to the top in 1:05:49. I was pushing at the end to try and get it under 1:05, just missed it. But I got a PR for 3rd bridge to top: 13:05! I did great on Techy too - I got it all AND with that I also got a PR - 2:32! Been chillin' with the kids this evening, it's good to take a little break and enjoy some quiet, and it's good to be back. I love Katharine's little voice, she's so cute.
