32 • Married to My High School Sweetheart • NICU BSN-RN • Boy Momma
Football Coach’s Wife • Follower of Jesus • Saved by Grace.
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?
- I love small town football. There's just something about being under those Friday night lights and having nearly everyone in town at the field. It truly brings me so much joy seeing my husband fulfill his coaching dreams. Watching him coach young men to not only know the game of football, but also mold them into gentlemen with class and respect, is really what it's all about. It's also really fun watching our young boys, Griffin (7) & Gideon (3), around the team. Even though Coach is away a lot during the season, we make the best of it and bring the boys around the team as much as possible.
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- That's a toss up between nerves on game day and the bleacher coaches!
- My large Bogg bag filled with toys, snacks, juice, coats, blankets, etc to keep our boys entertained.
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- Popcorn and M&M’s with a Diet Pepsi.
- My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of July 2022 leading into the football season. She is our full-time childcare and I was working night shift (7pm-7am) full-time at the hospital. I cried looking at the August schedule between my work schedule, my husband's football schedule, and my mom’s treatments and doctor's appointments- wondering how we would make it through and all of the what-if's. But God stepped in BIG and we survived that season and my mom is cancer-free and healthy today! Thank you Jesus!!
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
- Don’t focus on pleasing everyone. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea… and some people don’t even like tea. Be true to who you are and stand for what you believe in and in doing so you will find your people.
