Make a sound, a tune you know
Don’t be silent now
Sing it quiet, sing it slow
And I will listen loud

These lyrics are from one of my favourite songs by Jeremy Larson called Make Believe. He’s a talented musician from Missouri who creates beautiful songs with the rich sounds of piano and cello. He’s one of my favourite discoveries, one that I happily found a year or so ago of my own resources, rather than by a friend, which is usually how it goes.

Not only does he make lovely music that I enjoy painting to, I’ve learned that he’s a genuinely nice guy. I was slightly broken hearted when I found out that he was playing a show with Sleeping At Last in Greenville near my boyfriend and friends. Sad because I already have withdrawals for the South and my friends there, and this was just one more reason to want to be in that area, particularly yesterday, on October 29th.


So, after a wonderful week long visit in Canadaland, Chandler left me yesterday morning. It went far too quickly for my taste. Later in the evening he told me to call him, that I’d want to stay up and it’d be worth it. I took him at his word, called him and had a little chat. Next thing I know he passes the phone off to someone else who wanted to speak with me.

Yes. The voice of Jeremy Larson was on the line.

Turns out Chandler attended the show after all, and afterwards spoke with him and mentioned that I really wished I could be there, and said it would make my day if he wouldn’t mind saying hello. The fact that Jeremy willingly made that small gesture really says a lot about what a kind guy he is. He was very pleasant to speak with and it definitely made my day! And well, I gotta say that Chandler gets the best boyfriend award for making that happen. I want to hug him, then hit him for putting me on the spot like that. haha! It was also lovely to speak with Taylor too. I miss that pretty girl. For such a hard morning, it was a very good way to end the night.

Anyways, if you haven’t already, do yourselves a favor and check out Jeremy Larson’s music!

Hi, I'm Emily. 

I like taking too many pictures and writing everything down. It's more of a need, really, to immortalize the details of life's journey because that's what the mind forgets. 

I wanted a place to keep the events of my life in order. A place beyond facebook albums with short captions, and the mere reblogs of tumblr.

The next year of my life has the potential to be the most chaotic of my entire 22 years on this earth and thus this blog is born to help me enjoy the journey.
