Oprah says...
Oprah says everyone has 5 events or moments in their life that define them as a person and change shape their future. As of last night I can list 4 of mine.
1. My salvation/accepting Christ
2. Marrying my husband
3. Giving birth to my children
4. SEEING THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK REUNION CONCERT!!!!
We sat by one of my other childhood B/F/F's Meredith! Last night was amazing! I've never been in a room with 20,000 strangers and felt a bond with every single one of them. Not very many people get a chance to re-live their childhood for one night, but I did.
When we got there the venue said "NO CAMERAS" but that was just un-acceptable...so I snuck my point and shoot in in my bra! They were so close we could touch them - Eeeek!
I'm not going to lie, the tears were flowing last night. Not just because I got to spend a nostalgic night with my childhood best friend, but because for one night I got to be 13 years old again. I had no responsibilities, the world was a good and kind place, and my only concern was how I would get Donnie Wahlberg to marry me :)
I can't wait until my daughter Luci is old enough to learn about NKOTB. She will probably think they were dorks. But one day I hope to be driving a car-ful of her squealing friends to see their favorite band, because I will know exactly how she feels.
