I loved it, of course! I actually kind of detest the idea of a guy getting down on knee, though. I think I would have preferred Jim to twirl her around and bring her in his arms and whisper "marry me", or some other such nonsense. Also I have to admit I hate when stories have diamonds, just because I loathe the diamond industry that much. If a guy offered me a diamond engagement ring I'd probably punch him in the face. (He should know me better than that, right?)
ANYWAY my point is that despite all this it's still a 10/10, because you're just that good! I'm all about the angst and getting to the point of fluff rather than the fluff itself, but I reaaally enjoyed this. Yay!Author's Response:
You know, I personally feel very much like you do (I don't even have an egagement ring; I opted for engagement earrings, and they weren't diamonds. ;-)) - but I just know that deep down, Jim is a traditionalist in many things and I'd bet my children that one of those many things would be proposing. Not that he wouldn't say Yes if Pam proposed to him first, but I bet part of him would have felt cheated of not getting to do the whole 'down on one knee thing.' He's such a sap. An adorkable sap, but one none the less!
Thanks so much for the review!

D'oh! Not fair! Such a lovely setting. I like how you're capitalizing The Ring. Can't wait to find out how else Jim gets thwarted!
Author's Response: heehee - yes, I couldn't resist. It IS The Ring, isn't it? Glad you are enjoying the story.

Oh the poor guy. You have painted this picture well, I feel so sorry for him. Very well done! And please take me out of my misery. Soon!
Author's Response: haha - Yes, I will certainly have to make it up to Jim in chapter 5. Thanks for your review!!

I love the fact that Jim bought the ring just 6 weeks after they started dating. Its so sweet and so Jim. But I have a feeling I will say that a lot about this story.
Oooh, my name is the same as Pam's sister... and in another fic, my name is the name of Pam's cousin.... I am liking this relationship to fictonal characters.
Aww, and Ben just ruined the moment by proposing to Emily. Grr. Already not liking Ben haha!
And I really want to go to that cabin, looks NICE
Author's Response:
haha - well I read somewhere that Jenna does have a sister named Emily, so I couldn't resist using it. :-)
I hope you enjoy there rest of the chapters; thanks for reading and reviewing!

Outstanding as usual!
Author's Response: Wow - thanks!!

OMG, MOX! Jim's BIL to be is named BEN! ARE you kidding me!
Author's Response: hahaha - I could not resist. (Given it's my son's name, I am kinda partial to it, anyway!) And who knows - we may see more of Ben in other stories.... So glad you are back with us, LisaHoo!!

I'm feeling so bad for Jim. I can't wait til we get to the one that FINALLY works out. :)
Author's Response: I know, you'd think I'd show more respect to someone I love so much!! But it is kinda funny, and fun to write. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Oh man! Foiled again! And would you look at Pam getting all amorous in the cornfield. lol. Hmm...if she were to get pregnant out there they could call their kids children of the corn....I know - lamest joke ever.
Author's Response: LOL - that is almost too scary to consider. But funny! Thanks for reading, LoveFool!! I love all the fluff you write. :-)

Awww....poor Jim. I can't imagine getting finally ready to do it and then having the win blown from your sails like that. And love the irony of buying the ring the day before the 4th.
Author's Response: Thanks, flamingos! Jim, I think, is such a romantic deep down - and he's trying his best to express that. Things aren't going as easily as he'd hoped though! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!

wow... i really love this. it's so funny to think that Jim's planning and things are keeping him from proposing. you're right, these two never do things the easy way. :) i'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this moxie. you haven't disappointed in the past :)
Author's Response: aw, so glad you are enjoying it, rulesofjinx!! Chapter 2 is on its way......
Date: June 19, 2007 09:36 pm Title: Labor Day Weekend

Oh, poor Jim! Looking forward to Jim's future thwarted attempts and his one success.
I love that Jim has a ring so quickly. I think this is just how he would act!
Author's Response:
hee - me too! He's a man on a mission. :-)
Thanks for the review!

Poor Jim! At least we all know he is good at waiting. This is absolutley lovely. The moment they share before Jim goes back for the ring is beautiful!
Author's Response:
aw - thanks! This is all just an excuse for me to find new fluffy ways for Jim to show how much he loves her. (And she him, of course!)
No such thing as too much fluff!

This line was great - "So he bought a symbol of his permanent attachment to her, on the day before the national holiday celebrating independence." That is so Jim not to want to steal the spotlight from Emily. Can't wait to read the next one.
Author's Response: Yeah, Jim's a bit of a girl like that, isn't he?? (That's why I love him so!) Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: June 19, 2007 05:45 pm Title: Labor Day Weekend
oooh.. that's a tough break for our boy Jim! Maybe his next attempt will prove more successful. By the title, I'm guess not. ;)
Author's Response:
haha - nothing gets past you, jecks! ;-)
Thanks for reading and reviewing, as always!!

That is a nice bench! Poor Jim, if he had just been carrying the ring around with him, it would have been perfect.
Author's Response:
I know - I'd love to see a sunset from that location!! :-)
Jim will hopefully learn from his mistakes, if he's not too busy making new ones.... Thanks for the review!
Date: June 19, 2007 03:30 pm Title: Labor Day Weekend
I'm so ecited that there are four more parts! And if this is how happy I am after he DOESN'T propose, I know the last chapter is going to be fantastic!
This is just great!
Author's Response: Haha - no pressure then, right?? Thanks for reviewing, McGigi!!
Date: June 19, 2007 02:33 pm Title: Labor Day Weekend
Oooh, poor Jim. I like the quiet, hopeful tone you strike here. Very nice, very nice!
Author's Response: Thank, Lis - I feel a bit mean doing this to Jim, but I just can't believe it would go that easy for him, either.....
