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:
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.
