Who's awesome?

I surprised Grandpa last night by quizzing him about how long it took him to ride his bike to BYU and what route he took. He said, "Are you going to ride your bike tomorrow, Jess?"

Yes! And it only took me 5 more minutes than Grandpa said it usually takes him. There are several big hills on the route between south Orem and Provo (at least three) and I was about ready to die every time I had to pedal up one of the slopes. I counted six bikers in total who passed me en route. (I didn't pass anyone.) But I made it all the way to campus without mishap in good time, and that's what counts, right?

After I got to school, I also got to see Jill and Rio! I was wrong when I said I thought Jill had talked about him before; Rio is a pretty new dog. He turns 6 months old tomorrow. He is on the small side but Jill said he'll grow big, and his coat is a light yellow/red. Jill says he's the best-behaved dog she's had, but he's also the slowest walker and very lazy.
