Missy Martin Stowell

I live in East Central Illinois with my husband and 6 children. I stay at home with the kids and Jeff teaches Psychology at the local University. He was recently released as Bishop of our Ward and I'm currently the Primary Chorister and Ward Music Committee Chairman. I enjoy spending time with my family (since Jeff has summers off, we get to spend a lot of time together!), reading, baking, and spending time on my latest hobby of vinyl lettering. Life just keeps getting better and better. I think of my time in Scotland often and wish I could be there to reminisce with all of you!

Just a short note on our family: I married Michael Jakobsen, and we started a furniture business ½ year after we got married in 1995. The kids wouldn’t come, so we got help via IVF-treatment. It worked ! We have Andreas, 6 years and Rebekka and Emma, 2 years. They’re so much fun. Our au-pair girl, Missy, just got here 2 weeks ago. She is the children’s cousin. I have been at home – and working for the business mostly from home. Now I will help Michael a little more also by being in the shop physically some hours during the week.

Michael is also busy in his calling as councillor to the stake president. I teach in Relief Society once a month – a great and not too overwhelming calling.
