The best concert EVER

By -
Not to sound conceited, but if you ask my friends, they would probably tell you I'm a fairly intelligent level headed chic. I'm generally pretty sane, except when it comes to anything that has to do with NKOTB, in particular Danny Wood, then I lose my shit and become a 13 year old babbling idiot.


It's no secret that I'm a tiny bit of a New Kids on the block fan. ( or I have a ridiculously unhealthy obsession with... Either or)


So lets go back 25 years shall we?

I was 13, he was 19..








It was love at first sight ... Well on my end it was..

It started with one poster, and then two, then three, then pretty soon my room was wallpapered with Danny Wood.




I spent countless hours listening to every tape ( yes kids tapes) that they ever made.


As I got older you would think my obsession would fade, but oh no it grew and grew. Many many concerts later... It finally happened....
Last Sunday my best friend and I




went to see NKOTB in concert (again)
She got us amazing seats near the stage. We screamed like 12 year olds, sang along, were just having the time of our lives.... And then... IT. HAPPENED... All five left the stage and started to walk out into the crowd...

Which one walked towards us?!? DANNY WOOD!




He was literally two feet away from us, when I yelled to Dixie...
"Take pictures I'm going in!!!"

I stood there ridiculously star struck, paralyzed... For just a moment, then I reached out and touched his bicep!!

First off he is freaking chiseled! Secondly it was DANNY WOOD!!! He was standing right next to me, even made eye contact and smiled at me ( ok maybe he was just looking around, but I'm pretty sure he was smiling at me).
His impressively mohawked bodyguard pushed him through, I went back to my seat, and KID YOU NOT almost fainted!

Me "Danny!"
Dixie- "I know"
Me- " I touched him!!!"
Dixie- "I'm a witness"
Me - "I FELT DANNY WOOD'S BICEP!!"
Dixie - " yes you did! Pretty sure that's going to be the first line of the restraining order!"
(See why she's been my bestie for 25+years?)

The rest of the concert was amazing, a 13 year old girls dream finally came true.

After the concert I of course hit social media! I had to share with my friends that I touched Danny Wood!
I tweeted this




And then seriously 2 seconds later this happened




Yeah it was magical..
I'll never give up now!!!
Loving them (HIM) forever!




and big thanks to the best part of these last 25 NKOTB stalking filled years... DIXIE!! ❤

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

By -
A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

I have a friend

By -
I have a friend who I am blatantly stealing this blog idea from. She inspires me, even when she doesn't know she's doing it. She balances me, she isn't afraid to tell me I'm being ridiculous, and loves me when I am. I have a friend who makes me laugh always. She's colorful, in personality and language, and has a heart of pure gold when it comes to her friends and family. I have a friend who I like to live vicariously through, the things she does, amazes me. I have a friend who is beautiful inside and out. She shows caring and compassion in times when I am not sure I could.  I have a friend who has been by my side forever, and I know she will always be right there (even when miles separate us) I have a friend who amazes me with her courage. She looked straight into the face of death and said "not gonna happen", she is strong, she is brilliant she is a true survivor. I have a friend  who has shown me how to walk through the tough parts of life.  ...
