She is a former military spouse but has remained connected to the military community, even after her then-husband retired from the Marine Corps.  She enjoys gardening, being out in nature, and leaving her stress on the floor of a gym.  She loves visiting museums (even the lesser-known ones) and funky little shops and boutiques.
