Military Spouse magazine announced this morning the 18 finalists for its 2013 Military Spouse of the Year award - and Kristine Schellhaas of Camp Pendleton is on the list.
Going high tech, the magazine sent out a text message just a few moments ago to make the big announcement.
Schellhaas is the founder of the website USMC Life, which gives Marine Corps families a guide to all Marine bases. Schellhaas describes the site this way:
"There's a ton of resources on the page for families to discover military discounts, benefits from the government and private companies, information and help for newcomers and more. There's a blog made up of other USMC spouses from all ages and backgrounds."
Schellhaas also co-hosts an online radio show called Semper Feisty Radio, where she talks about issues important to military families.
