Marla: (weekly co-host)
I am a born, bred and raised California girl. Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself married to the military. Here I am loving every minute of it. My husband joined in 2001and after boot camp we were sent to our first command in Norfolk, Virginia, followed by San Diego, and now Annapolis, Maryland. I am the mom of two awesome children who make every day an eventful one! I love to read, usually military life books, I am always looking for the next great spouse tip! I crochet and sew and love to make crafts for others!! I found Navy Wife Radio after searching the internet for something I could connect with. My brief time with Navy Wife Radio thus far has been like second nature after growing up watching my father as a radio programer until 1996. It has been so much fun to share a bit of my life with other military spouses and I hope that they have enjoyed it. I love the ride of this crazy amazing military life and hope you like joining me on it! Email me at marla(at)navywiferadio.com

Hillary: (Emeritus co-host)
I was born and raised in South Georgia, lived there all 20 years until my life took a sudden and unexpected turn towards marriage. After just three months of dating my best friend from high school, I moved to California and married him. I am the first member of my family to be involved with the military. The short time I have been a Navy wife I have come to appreciate my independence and my faith more than ever. I spend my newly-found free time reading Marry Higgins Clark books and surfing the net, chatting with fellow military spouses. I am a budding, but not very astute, chef. I am really enjoying this new life I have been blessed with and look forward to facing and overcoming the challenges it will bring with it.
