My new blog!

Hello everyone!

My name is Claire and this is my new blog! :) I guess I'll start out with telling y'all a little bit about me.  I'm currently a freshman at James Madison University! 

My home is the beautiful Outer Banks in eastern North Carolina and I miss my beach home more than anyone can imagine!

 I have the most wonderfully amazing and supportive family in the world- I live with my mom and sister at home (my dad passed away in 2009) and Ellie, my mom's best friend who is more of a second mom to me, lives right down the road.  I am in a long-distance relationship with my other half, Joshua Bradley Granger.  

Being without him is one of the hardest things I've done, but I know it's all worth it because he makes me the happiest girl in the whole world no matter how far away he is.  I'm going to be using this blog to post about my crazy life here at college, as well as the stresses and blessings of being in a long-distance relationship. I'll also post about anything that I find particularly interesting, exciting, or beautiful! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my blog!
