I’m Molly! I’m 22 years old and currently live in the county, about 30 miles outside of Madison, Wisconsin. Where the trees are plentiful, the hills give off a roller coaster effect, and the neighbors moo at you as you drive past.
(Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin – one of my favorite places!)
My brothers are my favorite people in the world. My younger brother Luke, is a Marine and lives really far away. 🙁 BUT, I am incredibly proud of him and everything that he’s doing.
My older brother Josh, lives nearby with his 2 little girls whom I adore. Zoe (1) and Serenity (3) definitely bring laughter and joy to my life. Serenity who shadows me and always wants to join me in whatever I’m doing, and Zoe who is honestly one of the mellowest and happiest babies I’ve ever met. (And I’ve met a LOT of babies!)
I spend my days teaching a room full of adorable toddlers (1-2yrs old), and moonlighting at REI. (I may or may not have applied there simply for the discount. Yeah for cheap gear!) I also serve at my local church in the Children’s Department, spend the occasional weekend at the family farm helping girls learn to ride horses, and making delicious food for the staff.
It took me 20 years to figure out where I get my crazy from. Turns out I’m a lot more like my Mom than I ever thought. From the crazy facial expressions, photo bombing every person possible, silly voices, and knack for saying innocent things in a hilarious way, I can blame her for that. Thanks Mom!
I graduated from Rhema Bible Training College in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2013, where I had studied Children’s Ministry. In May 2013, I went to Ireland on a 3-week “Intro to Missions”. While there, I realized God was calling me to stay on for a year as a Missionary Intern. In Sep. 2013 I moved back to Ireland, working with the local missionaries. I fell in love with the country and the people. I hope to one day return, and I sure wouldn’t mind it if God said “Stay”.

Boom. Those are the facts. Now here are 11 completely random things about me.
1. I may or may not have been addicted to Irish Tea (Barry’s Gold Blend!!). What’s wrong with a cup (or two) every 2 hours?
2. There are 2 movies I can quote almost every line of: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, and BBC’s Pride and Prejudice.
3. Life is too short to find matching socks. Mine never match, and I love it.
4. There will always be space in my pack for colored pencils and something to draw on.
5. Forget small talk, let’s have a real conversation. What was your childhood about? What are you hopes and dreams? Where do you feel God is leading you?
6. Grew up surrounded by boys, as a result I’m still trying to get the hang of all those girly things. Nail Polish? Dresses? Eye Liner? What?!
7. Not a fan of winged creatures. I might admire from afar, but if it dares come near me — well I may or may not freak out.
8. I have 3 tattoos – and want more. I use my tattoos as daily reminders of how God sees me, and conversation starters.
9. I’ve always secretly wanted dreadlocks. Shh!! Don’t tell my Mom! — Hi Mom! 🙂
10. INFJ : Although some days I lean a little more towards the INFP side of the spectrum. These are the only personality tests I will accept the results for, all others have failed at accurately describing me.
11. I will never be too old for blanket forts. Or Coloring. Or Disney. (Thank God for nieces that make all these things socially acceptable)
