Holiday Momentum!
I guess I always love beginnings a little more than endings. The holiday season signifies the end of the football season for us. I do love the holidays, but I also know from years past that the weeks leading to Christmas are filled with an array of interesting events, mishaps and a mixture of football…

The Game
I find it curious how life seems to parallel itself with football in so many ways. Sometimes I feel like I just got a first down, or even a perfect pass for a touchdown, and other times I am pretty sure I just got tackled by a 265lb. linebacker with a loss of yards on…

Friends and Football
Proverbs 18:24 The Message Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family. The first time I met the Devines we were in the receiving line at my father in law’s funeral. As they were approaching The Coach turned to me and said how lucky we were to get David…

It’s Football Season, Have You Seen My Husband?
Last week when I was on my little “me-cation”, I came across a gift shop in Sylva where I found some cute brown cocktail napkins that say, “It’s football season, have you seen my husband?” Initially I just had to laugh because it is so very true. Of course I bought the napkins so I…

Life After A Big Win
Most people who aren’t “football people” don’t really understand what life is like at my house. I’m sure they imagine us sitting around after a big win soaking up all of the praise from the community and basking in the after glow of the recent accomplishment. Feeling proud while laughing and talking over a big…

Holy Footballs Coach!
Never did I think I would end up married to a high school football coach. I’ve always been very “in my own head” and creative, not at all competitive and only slightly (and I mean marginally) athletic at best. Some people call me artsy. I grew up playing few sports and spending most of my…

Football is Love
Welcome to my blog about my football life with The Coach. The Coach is my husband, Lance Ware. I married him thinking I could make him change some of his football loving ways, but how dare I try. Instead football has changed me. Football and I have had a love and hate relationship for the…
