NKOTB – The Family Outing

I will never understand how I did it, but I actually talked my husband into taking me to see NKOTB back in June.  I wasn’t originally going to this show because of my road trip to see them later in the summer.  But as the day drew nearer, so did my emotasticness over not having tickets.  Last minute he bought 4 lawn seats for me.  Plans changed and in the end, he and my daughter came with me.

When we got there, they had a deal that for $10 a ticket you could upgrade to seats, so we immediately did that.  It was worth it, I prefer not sitting on the grass.

The concert was fantastic (like there was any doubt).  Steve was a trooper for even coming with us, and I’m sure the beer helped make his night more bearable.  Kaitlyn sang and danced along holding onto my shoulders as she stood/kneeled on my chair.  It put her head at my level so she could see the hotness on the stage.

I hadn’t spoiled myself prior to seeing this summer concert, so when there was a bit of a lag in the action on stage I didn’t bat an eyelash.  The first notes of Single started up and I realized that the guys were spread out in the crowd, singing.  I spied Donnie over to my left and was a little beside myself.  I’m trying to get Steve’s attention about it when he says “Joe is right there” and I realized that Joe was indeed 6 rows directly in front of me.

I swear, I football threw Kaitlyn to Steve and got up on my chair.  Not my proudest moment as a mother, but it was Joey McIntyre and I check my common sense at the door when it comes to him.  I tried to take some pictures, but with all the flashes nothing really turned out.  Twas a shame too, because I just out of grope range.

That night, as we were driving home, I realized how awesome I have it.  I’ve got great kids who I can share pieces of my life with, as well as a husband who will get out of his comfort zone to make me happy.
