In the past 5 months I have had the chance to throw all responsibilities to the wind and act like a 13 year old again. I spent months anticipating the events to come. I spent time with good friends preparing for our adventures by making crazy t-shirts and laughing until our sides hurt and we had tears in our eyes. I screamed until I was horse (...for a couple of days) and I thought the ringing in my ears would never go away because of the loudest noise I have seriously ever heard in my life...Yes my friends, I have had the chance to see The New Kids on the Block in concert again-TWICE...Life is good! I loved them the first time around (in the late 80's early 90's and saw them in concert 3 times back in the day) and still do! I saw them in Atlanta in Oct. and seriously thought my hearing was going to be impaired the rest of my life! My friends and I were obviously not the only ones excited about it...It was crazy and wonderful! Greenville on St. Patty's day was a smaller venue so the ringing in the ears only lasted for a few hours...but the memories will last forever. They are true entertainers!
I didn't realize how much I needed to act like a 13 year old again. I highly recommend it! I never thought I would have the chance to feel like that again...I never even knew I needed it...A break from cleaning toilets, helping with homework and PTO was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Aaron, who thought I was crazy before and now he knows for sure it is true and still loves me! Thanks to Jake for being the only person in the house to like the music I love! Thanks to my mom and dad for chipping in for "round two" as an early birthday gift! I needed a break from reality, but now I am back and remembering I am 32 (almost 33...) and that my life is so much better than good-it is great...Now excuse me...I have to go clean my toliets...
...One more thing...I may post a picture of us in our awesome t-shirts...I am still trying to decide how much of my "crazy" I am willing to let you all see! And these little pic's give it no justice-we had great seats! So great we got to high five the guys as they left stage "B"-and yes I screamed (everyone did) like an insane person. If it had been 20 years ago you would have had to pick me up off the floor! This time around I just screamed...I am making progress toward being a grown up...right? (By the way the new first song on my "playlist",that you may or may not have paused, is NKOTB. If you like pop/R&B you will love it! If not...just humor me, it won't kill ya!)
This is just TOO funny! I remember playing with thte new kids Ken dalls at my cousins house in the early 90's oh, those where the days! I'm glad you had such a great time!
