So to begin, there is only one thing I can say about this....NKOTB RULZ! That's right! New Kids on the Block came together today after way to many years apart, and did a concert on the Today Show! I don't know about anyone else, but I was utterly OBSESSED with them! Memories of me and Ashley D. (now H.) making up dances to "Tonight" in her back yard...fun times! I'm pretty sure between the two of us we had all of their tapes, including their Christmas album. I don't know how many of you grew a rat tail like Donny's, but I know of a few people I went to school with :) Since I don't know how to post videos I'm just going to put the link of the concert on here for any one that wants to have a good chuckle :)
Thinking about this it reminded me about how music has such a huge role in my memories of the past. Seriously, I have to say...they don't make music like they use to! I remember my fifth grade birthday party, me and all of my friends listening to Salt-n-Pepa's "Shoop" over and over and over again. Singing the entire song word for word, jumping on the couch dancing! (And just so you all know, to this day I still remember all the words)
Then another memory of Dari and I...the managers of Metallic Polish. Our drive thru record company/music store we ran out of Dari's house...(Dari, can you remember that?) Good Times.
Memories of Candice and I jamming to anything and everything in the "Gran dix"...The time that your dad found my ICP cd in your car and you ratted me out as the owner...I don't think the bishop liked me for while after that :) 
Anyways, I changed my playlist to songs that took me back to some great memories. I hope you all enjoy, and maybe drift off into memory lane like I did!

OH MY GOSH RAQUEL!!! I was just laughing so freaking hard!!!! I totally remember metallic polish! We had some fun fun times back in the day.
I don't think I knew you when Becky Theobald and I grew matching rat tails and would wear our matching clogging outfits to school. (the lunch lady thought we were twins!)
Last but not least, I remember that you bought me my very first CD and it was TLC-Crazy Sexy Cool and you and I would listen to Left Eyes raps over and over until we memorized them HA HA I love us!
Raquel,
It is so good to hear from you!! I see your mom every once in a while and get the update on you, but it is so fun to get a sneak peek into your life through your blog!! I know...I can't believe that I have 3 kids either...am I crazy or what!! I have to admit that everything you mentioned from your childhood I totally did too!! New Kids on the Block were my obsession, I was sure that one day I would marry Jordan!! We would make out with our posters (oh man did I just admit that!!:^), we also made up dances to every song they had. And I can also still recite word for word the Salt N Pepa song!! Man, we are getting old!! Good to hear from you!!
