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!

Vitamin D

     Hi friends! I have already spent a week in Maryland and it is going by so fast! My new friends are amazing and everyday I look forward to hanging out with them in the evenings. My research is coming along but it is taking time and I am trying my best to be positive about what the results might be. Campus is pretty and although I still get lost I like it a lot.      This Saturday we went canoeing in the morning, played basketball in the afternoon, and went for a run with some of my gal pals in the evening. I love spending time in the sun and enjoyed my Saturday so much! Canoeing was a little scary, but for my first time I think I did pretty good! My arms are extremely sore but it is a good sore. I am learning so much and loving every new experience! I have played pool, softball, and basketball which are all things that I do not do very often but have had a good time doing!     This Sunday I got to go to church in Salisbury. It was nice to d...
