I lived my 12-year-old self's fantasy

Last Friday night (6/14), I was sitting in bed, around 9:30. Yes, I realize I go to bed early. Yes, even on weekends.

ANYWAY.

I was enjoying a mango popsicle in the quiet (Steve was out in the garage working on a car) and a friend I've known for about 15 years texts me.

"NKOTB is in Buffalo next weekend"


5 minutes after that first text, tickets were purchased. 

We got really, really great seats.

My friend is someone who when I met, right off the bat, I felt comfortable with. Like really comfortable with.

We worked together 15 years ago, but barely knew each other.

Then when we both moved back to the area, we were both interviewing for the SAME JOB!

She had a few more years experience than I did, and I remember even saying "they should hire us both and I'll work for you!"

And, they did.

For 4 glorious years, I got to work with my friend. We grew very close and went through a lot together. Babies, marriages, job changes, etc.

There's literally no one else I'd rather go to this concert with than her.

And it was amazing.

Before she made me take a shot (ok, half a shot). I haven't had hard liquor in maybe 10 years?

Loving life!

us and all the other 40 year old moms. This is half a shot and 2 drinks. 

Sooooo good!

Hi Donnie

Tiffany rocked it!

Getting nostalgic when "Please don't go girl" came on

Joey singing "Please don't go girl"

Salt N Peppa fucking killed it. So amazing.

Omg Donnie <3

Debbie Gibson!

They ended the night with all of them on stage. 

We got a hotel room and made a night out of it. It was such a great mini-trip. I got out of work early and we enjoyed a beautiful drive to Buffalo. Enjoyed a gorgeous night and slept comfortably in our own beds with no kids around!

We each woke up on our own (around 9am!!!) and had breakfast and then hit the road. We were home in time for her to catch her kids' baseball game.

I was able to enjoy the rest of the SUNNY/PERFECT weekend with my babies on the farm!
