My coach and I have been married for 17 years! He was a grad assistant in the SEC when we got married. Since then, we have worked up from DII to FCS to FBS. We were recently introduced to the ugliest side of this business, and the past six months are the hardest we have ever faced. Last week, we left the best home we have ever known for new adventures in a brand new city (our 7th move). We have two teenagers and a dog in tow. I LOVE being a coach’s wife, and I’m so excited to connect to some new ladies in Atlanta, Georgia!

This lifestyle will require you to be stronger, braver, and tougher than you ever thought you could possibly be. Love God, love your people, and love yourself.
