And I will love you, until forever....



Today I made a mistake.
I watched "Nick Lachey: Behind the Music"
For those of you who don't know (not many) I had a television love affair with The Newlyweds-AKA- Nick and Jessica. I had a poster. I had a t-shirt. I had every DVD they ever starred in: television specials, Newlyweds DVDs, music videos. I dragged my future husband to a Jessica Simpson concert. I knew all the words to their theme song. I bought "Dessert" by Jessica Simpson which is expensive lip gloss. I marshaled the television whenever my show came on.
So, I'm trying to say, I was obsessed. Nick was so down to earth and funny! (Remember when he tried to move those couches through the balcony?). Jessica was also heartwarmingly ditzy (Ballerinos anyone?) When they got divorced, I couldn't believe it. I even remember it was Thanksgiving morning when my Dad blasted me with the news of their separation (Though I did win 50 bucks in college when they made it past the two year mark). I was able to put this behind me. I blamed Jessica and boycotted "Public Affair" but bought (Nick bought me) Lachey's new heartbroken album. ("We built it up to watch it fall, like we meant nothing at all"...her fault folks)
Behind the music dredged up this celebrity heartache. I haven't been able to invest in a pop culture icon as I did with them, the hurt was too big. I thought they could make it. They were good together. Now J.S. is saying she was abused and Nick is dating a knife wielding, Lindsay Lohan kissing crazy woman. (See below, She's the one whose not Lindsay Lohan)I think they should get back together. Judge Judy divorced and remarried, why can't they? Why can't Jessica come back to Jesus and sing songs of redemption and abstinence?
The what-ifs of this life are too big. A lost hope in the scope of the world.
Friends, I realize most of you don't care. Most of you think the Newlyweds was a silly show and knew (unlike myself) that this union would end is dissolution. Still, I hope.
Love, Kaley

I'll be honest. I kind of miss them, too. I'll admit it. I miss seeing that Jessica Simpson poster everyday...even with the star post-it that covered her cleavage. And I'll fondly remember when you went to her concert and called me so I could hear...but I couldn't understand anything. Sigh. Why couldn't they just hold it together?!
