I have really been loving my satellite radio lately, and it has this awesome station.. 90's on 9. It plays pretty much everything I listened to growing up.
The other day it started playing Joey Lawrence's "Nothing my love can't fix for ya". And I had totally forgotten about that song!
In case you needed a reminder...
I also started thinking about heart throbs from my pre-teen years.
First, it was New Kids on the Block. I wish I still had the sheets, and pillow cases, and dolls of them.. but sadly, I do not.
Yep. Danny still looks like a monkey.
Then? It was the Nelson brothers. Not many people remember them. But. Oh my gosh. I did. I can remember going to their concert with Mom and Sarah.
Not too bad, boys. Now maybe you are wondering, "Whatever happened to those Nelson boys?" Well, I am here to tell you, that they played for cruise ships a couple of years ago on the worst vacation ever. The dreaded cruise. It's one of the few things that saved this cruise.
I got to freaking meet them!! 6 year old Rachel died inside. Walking back to the ship- it was the first day we were allowed outside our room (We got the Noro virus) and low and behold.
AND THEN. They talked about me during their show. And pointed me out to the crowd. YES!! Childhood dream came true.
Ahh.. moving on. Who can forget the lovable Jonathan Taylor Thomas.. JTT to his adoring fans. This was my ultimate heart throb at 12. I saw anything and everything he was in. Watched every episode with my cousin Beth and we planned our wedding to him.

| I'm not going to lie. When I saw this picture, 12 year old Rachel got butterflies |
 |
| The eyes.. lose the mullet, please! |
 |
| Smoking is unacceptable, JTT. |
Let's not forget Devon Sawa.. sigh. How many times did Beth and I watch Now and Then in slow motion to see if you could see up his towel? Too many to count, my friends.
 |
| Umm.. he does nothing for me now. |
Now, let us not forget angst ridden teen that was Jared Leto on "My So Called Life" Sigh.. that was a great show. Too bad it didn't make it.
He sings in a band now, people!! Still pretty hot too.
Ahh.. Joey. WHOA. I loved you on Blossom. Oh so much. Even with your mullet. And I knew it was destiny that we would be together because we share the same birthday.
WHOA. What happened to you hair??
Ahh.. Jonathan Brandis. How many times did Beth and I play "Seaquest" in Paw Paw's room? Again.. too many to count.
Why did you have to go a die on us? I can't remember now what happened.. Suicide, I think?
Hope you enjoyed your blasts from the past! Who was your Teen Heart throb??
