About: My name is Lauren Michelle Cloninger. Growing up, both my parents were in the U.S. Coast Guard, which took us around to many neat places! I went to high school in Camden County, NC. Some of the other states I have lived in are: Virginia (Hampton Roads - VA Beach/Chesapeake, Eastern Shore, and Chincoteague), Massachusetts (Cape Cod), California (L.A. and Point Reyes Station), and New Hampshire (Lincoln/Woodstock and Nashua). I have been married since August 2014 and we live happily in Raleigh with our two pets.
