Dear Sweet Baby James,
I hope you don't mind if I call you that, seeing that we've never met, but I have practically grown up with you. I just needed to let you know that I'm sorry I missed you when you were in town a few nights ago. See, you came a few years ago, and I tried to make things work, but with my newlywed/student status, it just wasn't in the cards. I still lament the fact that I missed that concert, thinking about the "if only...". Apparently, it wasn't in the cards this time either. I didn't find out you were coming until the day you were here. Suddenly I was scouring Craigslist like a mad woman, trying to determine if my stomach bug would keep me away from you again. And then Addie had it. And so did Sam. And I knew... no matter how great my drive to see you, I couldn't inflict sick kids on a poor unsuspecting babysitter. And I didn't want my aching tummy to detract from the magic I knew you'd create. So, I'm sorry. I hope you decide to tour again soon. And I hope you know that the third time's a charm. I'll sign up for your fanclub so I can be alerted of your upcoming tour dates. I promise not to miss it. In the mean time I'll have to keep going to Carolina in my mind.
Love,
C

ha! I thought this was going to be a post dedicated to Justin Timberlake. my bad:)
i love him too. how can you NOT, really?
Oh, sadness!!! Did you know that me and Keith's song is "You Are My Only One"?
Ya, that's a bummer. I didn't know you were such a huge JT fan. I have his greatest hits album and I love it! Zach's aunt actually called us early that night and said she had extra tickets - unfortunately Zach was buried in homework so we didn't go. Maybe I should have called a certain friend to come with me!
Ships passing in the night! I do hope you and Sweet Baby James will be able to cross paths someday soon! :) (Brilliant post, by the way!)
