BEST NIGHT EVER!

     Ever since I was about 5 years old I have had a special place in my heart for boy bands. I have loved the Backstreet Boys, One Direction, Five Seconds of Summer, and especially New Kids on the Block! NKOTB announced a tour for summer of 2017 but I figured that no one would want to go to their concert with me and that the tickets would be too expensive so I pushed the concert to the back of my head. In early May, my dad and I were on a road trip and for some reason the New Kids concert came up and I decided that I was going to try my darnedest to get to their show!
     I some how convinced my mom and my mom's best friend to go to the concert with me and I was ecstatic!I bought the tickets, got off work, got a new outfit, and pulled my Keds out of the closet. I was so excited and more than prepared for this once in a life time opportunity.
     So on a Wednesday afternoon we packed up the car and drove to Tulsa for the best night of my life! We went to dinner, found a parking spot, talked to some of the other fans who were there (thousands of middle-aged women) and found our seats. Now, we did not get our tickets early nor did we spend a lot of money so we had nose bleed seats that were at a very steep angle. Some of us had a hard time with the height that we were at, but I was just taking everything in. I was so happy to be there and there was nothing that could damper my mood!
     Boyz II Men and Paula Abdul opened for the New Kids so I "patiently" sat through those performances as I waited for my boys to get on the stage! Paula Abdul put on a complete show that was pretty entertaining to watch but really I just wanted NKOTB! Finally at about 9pm the lights went off and the screaming started! I screamed with everyone else and could not contain my excitement! For the first couple songs I stayed in my chair but soon enough I was on my feet with the other fans! I sang along, danced, and screamed and honestly just had the best time!
     I LOVED the entire night but there were some highlights!

     Highlight 1:
     When I found NKOTB a couple years ago I also got my childhood best friend obsessed with them. Her favorite New Kids song is Summertime so when they sang that I yelled for the both of us!

                                   Highlight #2:
     I am a total Donnie Girl and my favorite song to watch live is Cover Girl! I absolutely died when Donnie yelled "Are there any cover girls in the house tonight?" I was yelling and dancing and just having the best time during that song!

     Highlight #3:
     Hearing Donnie yell "TULSA, OKLAHOMA!" was definitely a highlight of the night!

     If you cannot tell, I had the most amazing night at the Total Package Tour and would absolutely do it all over again! I am so glad that I got to go with my mom and our really good friend! I have so many memories from that night and I still reminisce about that night all the time!

BEST NIGHT EVER!

Twenty - Eighteen

Happy New Year!!! Goals and I have had an interesting past. Every year I seem to make more goals than I can even keep track of and by February I am overwhelmed and discouraged. I can't even remember if I made any goals for 2017 and if I did, I certainly didn't keep them. This year, I decided that I wanted to try again with New Year resolutions, but I wanted to be smart and realistic about the goals I made. With this new mindset, I decided that I wanted to make three goals that hopefully will not overwhelm me, but rather encourage me to be a better version of myself for 2018!! My first goal is my spiritual goal for the year and that is scripture study. I haven't promised myself that I am going to read the  Book of Mormon five times or that I am going to get through the entire Bible, instead, I have decided that I just need more scripture study in my life. I need to be more diligent in reading the Book of Mormon every day and I need to study the words of modern proph...

"Kate is a DISASTER at the beach!"

     Hi guys! I had a really good weekend full of fun adventures and am so excited to tell you about them! Okay, the interns here have kind of started this thing that we like to call "Fire Fridays." Every Friday we go out to a fire pit here on campus and have a bonfire complete with smores! It is always a lot of fun. We eat, chat, sing, and dance! We weren't out too late last Friday because we had a field trip on Saturday but it was still an adventurous night! Assateague Island. Beautiful! A stamp for my family's National Park Passport.      Saturday was nice because we got to sleep in and then left for our field trip at noon. We went to Assateague Island and went seining. I really enjoyed this trip and learned a lot! If you know my father, you know that we as a family love to go to as many National Parks as we can and over the years I have developed an affinity for the parks and visitor's centers. The visitor's center at Assateague was really c...

Getting Ready!

I am so not ready to go. I leave tomorrow. I am so not ready to go. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to be in Maryland, but the whole process of getting there is stressing me out. I have never flown and I am very nervous about my full day of travel. Once I am in Maryland I hope that I will be able to clam down and enjoy the experience but first I have to get to there. Trying to pack your life in two suitcases is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Things like laundry soap and enough shampoo for over 2 months are essential items but they are also items that take up quite a bit of space in my suitcase.  If nothing else, this experience has taught me that I own too much stuff! I leave tomorrow morning at some ridiculous time (around 4am) to drive to the OKC airport. From there I fly to Dallas then to Philadelphia then to Maryland.  For a girl who has never flown I feel like I will be a pro after this trip! One funny thing that has happened as I have prepared to go is ...
