Blast from the Past

It's been 18 years since I went to the Marriot Center in Provo Utah at age 13 to see the New Kids on the Block Concert. Those of you who know me understand that I had a MAJOR obsession here. The Curran girls and I use to spend all our time singing and watching new kids videos. We were I guess what you could call obsessed:) It was so funny when we found out they were coming in concert and that they were back together as a group. We couldn't resist. So we got row NINE tickets and we had a blast!!! IT was so much fun and such a blast to be with the Curran girls again and remember all the good times we had as kids....so heres some pics. Warning: They are still good looking! HA HA

At this point we were all screaming don't leave!........very sad......I hope it's not another 18 years!! They sang all their old songs and I still remember every word, and dance move......okay so I use to have 336 posters on my wall of them. It was funny the crowd was mostly 30 year old moms and they were all decked out in neon colors and total 90's gear like side pony tails and big buttons, puffy painted shirts and ripped jeans.......it was seriously funny. Call me crazy but I REALLY had fun and I am praying they come again.......ERIN? SHANNON? Are you with me on this one????????

Oh I so wish I coud have flown out for the concert in SLC!!! It was fantastic seeing them here in NC, but just being with your girls would have made it all that much more fun!

We have some of the best memories from our childhood playtime, don't we!?

You guys should have gone through your old clothes and found your NKOTB t-shirts, crimped your hair and did the wall of bangs. LOL!!!! Just kidding. I think I still have a thing for them. I found the "hanging Tough" video the other day. I still know ALL the dance moves. I even found a package of stickers. It is like the New kids never leave our 5th grade hearts. Glad you had fun!
