Be still my inner-tween girl heart!

*AHHHH!* *SCREAM* *AHHHH!*
NEWKIDSONTHEBLOCKOHMYGOSHJORDANJONATHANJOEYDONNYANDDANNY!!! (Ok, Danny, not so much.)

They're reuniting!

My BFF Summer Brown and I shared some posters from some kind of teen hearthrob magazine that her ultra cool grandma bought her. I remember I got Jordan, the whole "crew" and Danny. (That's cuz I got last pick. It was her magazine afterall.)
I also had a Joey "Ken" doll :)

Summer and I planned on saving babysitting money and buying tickets to their concert (our "lucky" moms would go with us), but she moved to Arizona the summer before 5th grade, and I haven't had contact with her since. :( I miss her, and whenever I heard about NKOTB (Oh yeah, we used ancronyms way before texting, peeps.)after that, it always makes me think of Summer :) We liked MC Hammer too.

So, just for the heck of it, I'll be tuning in to the Today Show tomorrow to see it they still have The Right Stuff. Oh c'mon. Like that wasn't *obvious* there was a play on their cheeseball lyrics coming somewhere?

Looks like the Today show's got the right stuff: All five original New Kids on the Block members – Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight – will appear together in the morning show's courtyard on April 4, a source tells PEOPLE.

After months of speculation, PEOPLE confirmed in January that the band is reuniting – just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their mega-hit album Hangin' Tough. The group also recently updated its Web site, nkotb.com.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994. Since then, the oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, 39, retreated back to Boston to become a real estate developer. Former members Wahlberg, 38, and McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Jordan Knight, 37, has continued to record.
