This morning I woke up to an email from a Chaser. I love those kind of expected, yet unexpected type of things that really make you smile. This was one of them. I realized over the past few months, SNC & the people I've come to know because of these guys have done that to me a lot/on more than one occasion...made me smile. Then I realized it's been more than just a few months. I looked through some old messages, and sure enough...
One year ago today, I recieved a YouTube video from my best friend. We make a habit out of sending each other new & interesting music. SNC wasn't really new at the time but they were to us & they are definitely interesting. I mean that with affection, of course! The video was of SNC singing their cover of *Fix You* & the email had a title that read something like: "You have to Check These Guys Out!! Trust Me." Though enthusiastic about Music, we usually have different taste in it, so I didn't put much stock in her enthusiasm at first. However, after watching about 3hrs of YT videos, when at the time I should have been studying...(Sidenote: SNC is REALLY good at helping a person procrastinate...lol.) I ended up doing something I didn't usually & still don't normally do. I messaged one of the guys. By the end of night, he had messaged me back & was so laid back & awesome about it that, I wouldn't say I was *hooked*, but I definately wanted to know & hear more about SNC.
One week from today, the story will come full-circle as I am not only going to get to meet *said emailing Chaser :)* but share in the experience of going to my first SNC concert & meeting the guys with her. I couldn't be more excited about it, as I am told it is quite the experience to be had. #Shenanigans will definately be shared, good times will be had by all, & updates will most certainly be posted...though after the fact, because my laptop/the only source of uploading photos I have, is on the fritz & in the shop being fixed. Plus, I don't have internet or anything on my phone (technologically challenged sometimes...lol.) so sorry in advance for the lack of #IntermissionReport tweets on my end.
*Ending Sidenote*: I also am not one to usually make a big deal out of things like this, so the fact that I am finding myself writing this *WooHoo*-ness feels kind of weird, but hey....What better time than the present to embrace my inner-Chaser, right? WooHoo! :)
Have a great week, All & Cont'd Safe Travels & Well Wishes to The Guys!

Very, very cool story Michelle - was it all you thought it would be? ;)
Michelle, I am SO excited for you!!! And your post made me tear up a little! I love hearing people's stories of how they discovered SNC and the changes in their life because of that discovery! And I loved this quote... "after watching about 3hrs of YT videos, when at the time I should have been studying..."
Haven't we all been there?? Haha!
Have an amazing time!! We can't wait to hear all about it!

Beautiful post, Michelle! I can't wait to hear all about your evening with *said chaser* - I'm giddy with excitement for you! And it is amazing how these guys have brought together such a tight network of people who are spread throughout the continent! I'm glad SNC brought you and ME together! :)
