About Me
Hey y'all! My name is Melissa Walsh and I have lived in Knoxville, TN for the last 11 years. I grew up in Memphis, TN and went to college at Eastern Kentucky University on a golf scholarship. I played for EKU for 4 years and then went to the University of Tennesse for my Master's in Education. I met my husband in the program and we both ended up getting hired to teach English at the same school. While teaching, he was the track coach and assistant football coach and I was the tennis and golf coach.
Currently, we are both administrators in the public school system. I am at a high school and he is at a middle school! Needless to say, we have a lot of very crazy and funny stories every day. On the weekends or during the summer we love traveling, playing golf (or being active), hitting up local breweries, or doing something fun with friends and family. I am definitely the type A in the relationship, but that's what makes us work!
We currently don't have any kids (maybe someday!) but we treat our puppy like our child. Yes, we are those people. I was never a dog person until we adopted Chewie, but now I couldn't imagine our life without him! He is a hound mix and we adopted him from our local animal shelter. Our friend also adopted his brother at the same time, so they get a chance to see each other every once in a while.
Look how cute he looks in his Christmas bow tie!!
Living in a college town, sports are a huge part of our lives. On Saturdays in the fall you can find us at the UT game, at a tailgate, or watching the away game with friends. Nick may or not be obsessed with the Vols. We also love going to Braves games in Atlanta and hockey games in Nashville when we can go.
Nick and I met in college while we were both attending UT Knoxville, working on our Master's in Secondary Education. We actually had a few classes together and were friends before he wore me down and I agreed to date him. Clearly, it worked out!
