About Me
I'm married to Christopher Hallett, 15th and 30th Corps, for 22 years and we have 2 girls, Becca 20 and Lily 17. We went through the Corps training with #30 together as a family at Gunnison, 1999-2001 and our assignment was state coordinators for NH/VT/ME. We left that position and the ministry in 2005, but have stayed in Bow, New Hampshire--that makes eight years. We do not participate in any other church, ministry or group
We have two daughters and three cats. My younger daughter, Lily, is an avid rock climber and talented writer and artist. My elder daughter, Becca, is self-starting her modeling career in Boston and enjoying success. We're often in Boston ourselves and think it's a fantastic city.
For myself, I write poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction, as I have time and discipline, and participate in two writers' groups to stay active and connected.
My Interests
Writing and Reading
Gardening
Outdoor activites: walking, skiing, etc.
history, politics and animals
Employment or Career
I am self-employed as a freelance writer and insurance agent. Since coming to New Hampshire, I've also worked fulltime as a non-profit administrator for NH Public Radio and NH Writers' Project.
Music I Like
I like lots of music but could not name any of it -- mostly it's what my daughters put on. I just follow along.
Books I Like
I am a big reader. I love novels and creative nonfiction. I don't do so well with nonfiction that doesn't tell a story. Along those lines I really enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Soloist by Steve Lopez, and The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner. Too many more favorites to list.
Television I like
The Office is my favorite right now-- I recently watched every show in order through the first 5 seasons so I got the complete stroy line and sequence of events. Not in one day of course. Now I'm waiting for HULU to post all of season 6.
Movies I like
Too many. I was surprised to really like The Hangover. I also like Into the Wild, Little Miss Sunshine, I Robot, 16 Blocks, Lords of Dogtown.....Pulp Fiction is my all time favorite. I can watch comedies like 13 Going on 30, The Devil Wears Prada, Freaky Friday, or My Big Fat Greek Wedding over and over again, especially after a hard day.
Sports Teams I like
The Red Sox and The Patriots of course, though only because I live in New England not because I watch any games.

Do you have any idea of where Keith and Terri (Teresa) Jackson are? Do you think they are still on staff?
Terri
Good to know where you are. We often look at picts of Becca and Lily and wonder where you all are. Emily is in 7th grade and into everything - cheer, track, you name it. Zack is in 6th and is into baseball and video games. They are wonderful. Michael will be graduating from Catawba College in May - finally - only took 10 years!! We are having a big do May 17th if you are anywhere close. Have not seen or heard from Dawn and Gordy since probably 2003. Our love to all of yours.
Cindy
Ps - can't wait to em the picts of Lily's hair.
Love ya,

Thanks so much for the heads up about Cindy. There isn't a Michael Martens in Charlotte, but there is one in Kannapolis, NC. Maybe that's them.
Thanks again so much. I'm so glad to be able to get reaquainted with our friends from years ago.
Love ya,

I thought I could send you a nice hello on a winter night.
I thought your about me was delightful.
Your daughter is going to boarding school?
I went to one too.
I hope she is enjoying it.
The winter is not over tonight - a real snow fall again here in Minnesota.
Got a nice long drive to Chicago tomorrow.
Stay warm and cozy on your 6 acres and your little cottage! Best wishes to your family.
Matt

So glad you took a moment to write back I've done two presentations of my trip the full one about 3 1/2 hours and a shorter one with some of the highlights about 2 hours. So with your request I started posting in my blog about the trip. So far their are three posts up (one is a short video) and they are basically pre-trip and first day out as these are essential to understanding what God did for me.
