Hey there - I've had so much fun reading this story! I especially loved Pam visiting Jim's class today - I really hope that she'll become the art teacher, that would be awesome!
Anyways, can I get a zip file (I'm not even sure what that is... lol) of Jim and Pam's wedding playlist? My contact info is on my bio if you need to reach me to do that. Thanks so much in advance!

I've just gotten back from NYC (where I saw John heeeee) and omg I have SO had withdrawels from this fic, so I am so happy to be all caught up.
That was SO cute it made my teeth hurt.
I'm going to miss this omgggggg.
I think you need to get writing though, break is oveeeeer :)

Yay! I was able to finish both of your stories. I want to apologize for not reviewing along the way, but here I am!
These were very fun to read, first because they're well-written and second because I'm originally from the Chicago suburbs. I'm not always a fan of AU, but this was great!
The music was an added bonus and nice because we have very similar tastes in music.
I also have to comment that I caught a number of O.C. references hidden here and there. I'm guessing you're a fan. :)
Thanks again and I can't wait to read the next one if there is one.

Nightswept, I would just like to say what an amazing journey it has been reading "Indie Rock" and "Illinoise"
I can't imagine my fanfic experience without those two phenomenal pieces. I would just like to thank you for all the time you put in to the two great stories.
Also, I think I speak for everyone when I say that you would be the absolute greatest ever if you were to add a third installment to the series.
Not trying to pressure you, but after a well deserved break, I think we would all absolutely love to see more from you. Thank you so much for the two great fics!!!!
Date: May 13, 2009 10:19 pm Title: It's Been a Year...
I'll start by toasting you, Nightswept, for another amazing AU, again, I am sad that it's over, but it was all fun. I hope your brainstorm is amazing, and the summer {FINALLY HERE} inspires you for a third installment.
Next, I'll toast Jim and Pam, settling in Suburbia, hosting the first, of likely many, summertime soirees. I am with Kelly, the smell of BBQ, yum! I love them, with the group still, even though they now are Kenosha home owners.
Now, I toast you, once more, for giving us Jim. In an apron. Barefoot. With the dog. And lastly, my personal fave, bouncing a baby! H O T!!
Drink to that!!

Yea! They are in their house! And they did it all on their own too! I am so proud of these kids, growing up into responsible adults.
So, Pam tries yoga and lavender candles for stress relief, while Jim has... um... other ideas for relieving the tension. I am a certified fan of the scent of lavender, but, I have to give Jim the win in this better-idea debate.
Pam, however, gets the big win in the cut-the-cord-already debate. She has learned the importance of self-reliance when it comes to parents and dollars and she did a lovely job of helping her husband get that understanding too.
They're gonna build a doggy corner for Molly in the new house. Cute, Cute Cute. What a good mommy and daddy they are!
I'd love to see them in family-planning mode. Jim, doting on a pregnant Pam and both head-over-heels with their baby makes me melt inside.
While I am sad that this story has just about seen its end, I am very excited to see how you plan to close this out.
And again, trilogy, good idea. Not nuts at all.

I was going to read this when it was complete but decided to settle in and enjoy it tonight while watching the race. I love that they went to Meijer - we don't have them here in VA but I've been when we visit family in Indiana. (But we have Wegman's and they don't, so..)
Author's Response: How's the Derby going? Thank you so much for taking the time to read! I hope that you are enjoying the story so far. And ah, Meijer! I went to Wal-Mart today for the first time in years, visitin the dolls in Texas, and oh my goodness that place scares me so much!! I greatly miss Meijer. Lots.

I am running out of ways to tell you how much I love you and how awesome you are lol, so I'll just say it again - YOU'RE FREAKING AWESOME. I look forward to every chapter that you write and I'm always left with a huge smile on my face. I'm happy Pam convinced Jim to try get the house without his parent's help, as easy as it would have made it, it wouldn't have been all theirs.
Jim as a tenth grade teacher is so hot lol.
I will miss this so much :(
Author's Response: Hey there, and thank you again for leaving such a kind review!! I'm so going to miss this story and the research and coming home every night with a sort of homework assignment. I tend to complain about how it distracts me from school work and keeping up with an actual social life, but it really has been so much fun, sharing this story with all of you, an my gosh- everyone has been so kind! I am eternally grateful. Anyhoo, enough of me going on and on about that and getting all sappy. Thank you for being such a devoted reader and commented on this story. It really means a lot. And perhaps I will see you soon for a third. And good luck with those awesome stories of yours! I understand when you say writing is hard work. It really, really is, and it takes a bit of time, but it's such great exercise in creativity, and it helps with the actual homework sometimes- being a continuing student in mass communications and creative writing and all. ;)

Loved this chapter. It brings back the fond memories of getting our first house (where the TV sat on the floor in the living room for at least a year). Also...this definitely gives me something 'else' to think about during Yoga class.

Oh...I'm sad it's coming to an end, and hope there will be more! By the way, you have me freaking out that I don't have enough savings to put a down payment on a house. Not that I'm looking for one at this time, but if I was, I'd be screwed.

Yes! Sequel! More!
I love this world of Jim and Pam. Please keep going.

I totally support a third story. And this chapter is amazing!
Date: May 02, 2009 06:19 am Title: Just Watch the Fireworks
:D Aww, they got the house! I absolutely loved that Jim wanted her to paint furniture on the walls in the place of actual furniture, and the whole joking bit about building a meth lab under an in-ground pool was just wonderful. Thanks for the update! Only one more though?! :'( Now that I look at that emoticon, it looks like it has a weird nose and not that it's shedding a tear... hmm... Random tangent, sorry. This story has just been so delightful to read that a little piece of me will be sad when it isn't updated any longer... Congrats on another wonderful chapter!

Okay, so I totally blame you for the "OMG JIM!" fit I had when I saw an IKEA commercial last night. The neighbors didn't appreciate it.
-collective "AWW"- Yeah, I'm still lovingg it. Ellie likes the idea of number three very, very much.
Author's Response: Aw, I so want a Jim Halpert around to keep me safe during those crazy weekend trips to Ikea. I'm glad to hear that you are still enjoying this story, although I'm so sad to bring it to an end. Still debating the possibility of a third. Currently accepting bribes... Haha, kidding! Or am I?

Okay, so I totally caught the brief mention of Part III of this AU Jim/Pam storyline you've created, and, um... yes, please.
Okay, I was an awful person and did not review the last chapter, so can I please start by celebrating Molly? WooHoo!!! I love that they finally got a puppy!!!
And I have to say, it makes perfect sense for the puppy to seemed to have formed an alliance with Jim. Little Girls always love dad, and Jim feeds her from the table, not to mention, Ladies Love Cool James... um, sorry about that last one, I should have my commenting privileges revoked.
Pam's Parents. Still the same parents we met in Indie Rock, but better. I love that, while Pam abandons and drinks, Jim stays in there like a soldier. They have to know that he is an awesome son-in-law.
Pam's sister. I am so so happy that they are getting close again! But we cannot forget about Pam's 'other' sisters, Kelly, Angela and Karen. I love Hannah and Pam discussing 'banging out babies', they sound just like the giggling sisters you know they grew up as. And Jim's sister-in-law, knowing he was lying when he willingly returned to the inquisition of the parents, AWESOME!!
Are they really getting a house? Don't toy with us, it is mean. I love how Pam had already thought about their home, complete with projects completed by DIY Jim. I love a handy man!
Now, when they do get this house, they can pop open the celebratory champagne sitting inside the fridge and then there can be more happy times with Drunk Pam and Advantage-Taking Jim!
Yay! Nightswept! I appreciate that despite some brief breaks for life, you have not abandoned this story and keep plugging away. It doesn't matter to me if it is a week, a month, or a day, a new chapter always excites me!
Author's Response: As far as the whole house goes, a nice little surprise awaits you in the next chapter. And I will leave of t that ;). Oh, Aivilo, I always adore all of your reviews- you are such a dedicated reader to this story and it honestly brings a smile to my face, how you notice every little detail. You are amazing... Pam and her sister, Pam and he parents, Pam Jim and Molly-- all reasons I feel like this could continue into a third story but a trilogy would be a bit insane for an AU... Wouldn't it? well, that's what I keep telling myself, but I can be a wee bit hesitant when it comes to posting each chapter and starting new stories, being a beginner and all, so.... Yeah. Anyhoo, back to the story! Pam has definitely matured since the days of "Indie Rock" and her relationship with her parents has matured as well. It's just one of those things you realize as you get older, how important it is to keep family around and keep those relationships going strong. And Molly!! Pam and Jim are so going to have baby fever soon with a "little one" running around the house, can't you just tell? ;). I hope to include more Jim and Hannah interactions later on. Something about Jim hanging out with the in-laws, undoubtably charming their pants off. It's kind of hot.

I love this story and want you to continue forever! lol j/k but I would love fo a third installment! Your version and Jim and pam, in an au, seems to captured their essence and realisim. I'm always excited when I see you update, and I don't really review even though I read every chapter...several times;)! Hopefully, things will start to click for Pam..career wise and comhence the banging of the babies!lol...I love Bukowski. Modest Mouse even made a song for him..one of my faves!Great chapter and I look forward to reading more of the fantastic installment!
Author's Response: As much as I adore Modest Mouse, I must admit that I have never heard that song! I have to go on an mp3 hunt now. Anyhoo, thank you so much for leaving a review; it's greatly appreciated and I'm so glad to hear that have been following this story all along. :) I know that Pam's sort of "fickleness" has dragged throughout this story, and I would love to explore more of that in another story... But we will see! Thank you so much for reading! It was such a treat to read your review.
