Hi family! Things at the Martin home have been a bit hectic to say the least. After a slow construction period in the fall due to the cross-country team travels, we are back in full swing with our addition. By the end of this week we should have the rough plumbing, electrical, and duct work all done! We've have workers going every which way. The laundry room is now a dusty memory as the walls came down this weekend! Yikes. We gotta get the new one back together soon because I don't know when I'll ever get to the laundromat.
As some of you have heard, I have started working part-time at home on my computer. It is for a company called Insight Schools which is basically an online high school. Right now they are working on getting accredited in nine states, and I have been working on the documentation end of things doing lots of writing and editing. This has been really exciting for me as it is just the kind of thing I had planned to look for after completing my masters degree which is still in the works, by the way. When mom was in Page a month ago, she heard through her school connections that this woman, Kim, was looking for some help. I called her up, the rest is history. The Lord must have known that we would need some help paying for this huge addition on our house! It is a temporary position as I work on this big project until January, but I am hoping I will get on in a permanent capacity.
We had a fun Halloween. I am convinced Page is the BEST town in the world to trick-or-treat in. You can figure out who is who in our picture by height. We are so excited to go to Salt Lake in a week for Thanksgiving though I can hardly believe it is upon us! I'll be looking for everyone else to post their Halloween pictures!
One other happy note from our Martin side, Tim and Anne had their baby today! Symond Haskell Hawk Martin 7lbs. 8oz, mom and baby are doing great!
