Hi, I’m Missy Jill.

Your brain will feel a lot better about reading this site if you know two things:

I grew up in a one stop-light town in Kansas.  I ran around barefoot and waded in the creek.  I was always the tallest, skinniest kid in class, and I looked like this in 10th grade–

When Farrah Fawcett hair was at it’s height.

.

From the wheat fields of Kansas I made the long journey to Hollywood, got an agent and a headshot:

“My hair is large.”

Then I auditioned, auditioned, auditioned.  And that was about all there was to that.

.

Until I landed the role of a lifetime:

Marrying Todd.

.

It’s been 17 years now and I wish I could go back and do it all over again.  I often wondered how God would use my Theater degree since I obviously wasn’t cut out for Hollywood.  Well, it turns out that  Todd makes movies.  I love our creative life, our house full of four weird kids, and someday I hope  to meet Alan Rickman.  Just kidding.  My goal is to  help my husband win, and run a home  that God would be pleased with.  Oh, how short I fall.    If you read this site regularly you’ll find that out. You also might just avoid this scenario–

But I can’t make any promises.

    Okay, what’s happening in that last picture?! Oh, and I LOVE your big hair. I had hair about as big but not nearly as beautiful!

      Why, thank you! As for What’s Going On Here: I’m getting fingerprinted…all I can say is that it may, or may not, have been on my list of things to do that day.
