About me

Location	Madison, Wisconsin
Introduction	A Northwest girl who fell in love with a Northwest guy, proudly took his last name, moved over 3000 miles away to create a new home and nest in a beautiful part of the country, get him an MD and begin a long road of training. Now, in the Midwest, with another batch of training years ahead and a baby girl to add to the equation, they press on and aim to not look too far ahead but instead to intentionally consider each day at a time. Though most would choose to never travel a road like this, we smile at God's gracious plan for us and this McCarthy way of life! "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5
Interests	In this crazy life, a few of the things that not only are of interest to me but keep me going everyday include: A well kept, comfortable and safe home, precious time with my loving husband and ever entertaining daughter and, resting in the true gift of grace given by a Sovereign God who has made all of the above possible for this undeserving creation of His.
