It's evening, I should be reading a good book. A bad book would be ok too ... you know something that wouldn't cut it in literary circles, but nonetheless is entertaining. Lucie is in the next room reading her Esther study by Beth Moore. That's enriching, that is stretching her understanding and growing her faith. If not reading, I should be jogging, or doing some aerobics on the treadmill ... something to burn off excess calories. I'm sure there is a caloric figure for typing, so I guess it is better than doing nothing, but I'm not quite sure my doctor would qualify it as life improving. (Calories Burned: 37 calories per hour)

Bekkah, Brielle and I (Brielle, is a neighbor and classmate of Bekkah's) went to Boone NC to visit App State ... the potential higher institution that Bekkah would like to attend. The "mountaineer" is Yosef, the Appalachian State mascot. I always talked about the appalachian trails in NH, but here they pronouce it differently I used to say: AP-uh-LAY-shun but here it is pronounced: AP-uh-LATCH-in. So Bekkah wants to attend AP-uh-LATCH-in State. The campus was really nice, and the price for in-state tuition/room and board hovers around 10K / year. She wants to do something with sciences and loves the outdoors. Boone gets an average of 3' of snow per year ... so that would suit Ms. Bekkah just fine.
