Still Hangin' Tough After 15 years...

I have lots of pictures and updates to post (pumpkin patches, OSU homecoming, etc.) but my New Kids On The Block update has jumped ahead of the group. I couldn't wait to download my pictures to share with those who are amused.
We had a BLAST in Dallas at the concert! It was a nice night away for Trevor and I, not to mention seeing my absolute favorite group from my early teenage years. We paid a pretty penny for the tickets, but I was completely satisfied with the show that I got.
"The guys" were great--they still have the songs and dance moves to make girls crazy. Imagine over 25,000 women my age (the majority probably a few years older) screaming hysterically at the top of their lungs. Trevor couldn't get over the hysteria that he witnessed. It was great to see mom's with shirts on that said things like "Still Hangin' Tough After 3 Kids and a Minivan" and similar cute sayings.
At one point, the guys disappeared for a few minutes during a montage up on the big screen. They reappeared on a little round stage on the floor--very near to us! We guessed that it was probably around 50 feet away. It felt so close...the closest I will ever get to Joe. ;)
Here are a few pictures from our fun night...

I cannot even begin to put my jealousy into words!!! I slept outside the Civic center in OKC for tickets with a big group of girls (and our moms)way back when! Really wish I had made it to this comeback concert...I bet those songs brought back great memories. I'm glad you had a good time!!
