This is year 19 as a coach’s wife. My husband is the Defensive Coordinator for football and Head Coach for baseball at Callaway High School in Georgia. We have a 17 year old and a 12 year old son. I teach at one of the local elementary schools. We have been fortunate to be at Callaway for 19 years, which is my husband’s Alma Mater (after a name change). The coach’s wife lifestyle isn’t an easy one, but I love it!
