I'm a 24 year old girl living in Boston with her husband. Obsessed with running, traveling, photography, and The Office, my time is split between them pretty evenly.

Date: April 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: just can't get enough

There are so many quotes in here that I'd like to tell you made me feel fuzzy inside, but then I'd basically be just copying word for word this entire story. The entire thing? Awesome.

If I had to pick one fave, it would be : Jim swallowed his smile into a cough and covered his mouth with his hand as he came to the bottom of the list, where Pam had one extra item in her column. Called off her wedding for you. Brilliant. Even coming from Kevin.

I don't know how you do it, but I live to be like you. Your stories are always so wonderful. You = my hero.

Author's Response: I\'m glad you picked that line, stjoespirit. I love Kevin, how he\'s very sweet and human despite the fact that he\'s also kind of a skeevy perv with the things he says. ;) Glad you liked this, and thanks so much for the compliments. It\'s great to know somebody likes my writing so much. *hugs* :)

She was kind of sorry to see Karen go, because Karen was kind of cool, but she was also about thirty-eight different kinds of relieved and relief won. That was one of the best descriptions of how Pam probably felt after Jim broke up with Karen I have ever read lol...

This was awesome. A+ kind of awesome. That's pretty intense.

That was just... I don't even know. I go away to sunny, 95 degree Vegas for a week, and I come home to this, and it makes being back in rainy, cold Boston absolutely worth it.

“Nah, it’s just, I’m not…” he stammered. to "There you go…” he muttered under his breath.

That? That entire scene? That sums up every single thing I prayed for watching TO on my couch that night. How Jim just looked at her on the boat, and you knew exactly what he was thinking... wow. That was awesome. Please continue this soon - I'm on the edge of my seat!

I actually can't wait to see that footage, because let me tell you Bean, the look on his face that day was completely priceless.

And I'm done. Gone. That was the most glorious statement I think I have EVER read on MTT. Pam telling her Bean about Jim's reaction (ie, utter elation) = perfection. You. Are. My. Hero.

Author's Response: Well thank you!  Not sure it's all that heroic ;) but I'm so happy you liked it!!!

Author's Response: Aw, thank you so much for the lovely comments. I\'m so glad that you\'re excited for this third installment. I have so many fun ideas for this story, and I can only hope that they will pan out in the end and leave you satisfied. This will be the final chapter in their story after all. (*Tear*)

I hear Boston is a good place to vacation when you're from Wisconsin HINT HINT! Plus, we have a Sox team, too :) Maaaaaaybe they could go down to the Newport winery in RI if they're really craving some vino, head over to the cape for some sun, etc, etc.

Again, I love this story. Your Pam and Jim are perfect and so sugary sweet I'm pretty sure I need to go brush my teeth. This is going to be an awesome summah!

Author's Response: I love Boston. Both of my parents were born and raised in Boston, and my entire family resides there so I always have an excuse to go. I haven\'t visited in a couple of years though, and I\'m liking the idea of an East coast field trip for our Jim and Pam, especially since I\'m somewhat familiar with the idea having spent most of my childhood in and around Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, RI... Hmmm... Thanks for the lovely review, and I\'ll keep you posted if I need any Boston ideas. ;)

Reviewer: stjoespirit04 Signed 10
Date: May 29, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: Bright Lights, Big City

Yay for BOSTON!!!! :) :) :)

What to do here... well, that's like asking how much air should you breathe lol...

Um, duck tours, Red Sox games, a plethora of bars (lovingly referred to as a pub crawl), shopping on Newbury Street, a whale watch, booze cruise in Boston Harbor, a Boston Pops show, the New England Aquarium or the Science Museum, a trolley tour, Faneuil Hall, walking the Freedom Trail, hanging out in Boston Common, etc... It's the best city in the world (in my opinion, lol) and I can't wait to see what/ if you write about!! :) :)

Author's Response: Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions. I\'m just sorry that I was unable to use them all, although realistically I have to keep Jim and Pam on a tight budget. They are planning for a family after all. ;) This list makes me want to visit Boston, um, asap. Can I just drive over from Chicago and shack up at your place for a couple of days? I promise I clean up after myself and I\'m a pretty decent cook. I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich.

Reviewer: stjoespirit04 Signed
Date: June 01, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: Sure, unsure, or all of the above?

Sometimes, I wonder if a chapter of someone's story was written with me in mind. This one, I think I may have be right.

Seriously.

And that's not just because I threw out some Boston references.

But, since we're on that topic, Jim doing a heavy Boston accent (we don't all talk that way tho, reader friends - we do NOT all talk like that haha), a Sox cap, hell, the Sox winning 15-1 over Chicago, Sweet Caroline (to which my fiance and I are walking in to at our reception), the infamous Frog Pond, the Pike... everything was SPOT ON. I loved it.

And then Jim being scared... That was just perfect. Fiance and I had a long conversation this past weekend about missed opportunities and being scared (we're marrying pretty young, we've been exclusively together for over 6 years, etc) and your Jim and Pam conversation was so very close to the one we had, it was scary. I'm ready to go (26 days left!!!) and he just now came out and said that he's been nervous. Your Pam speech was very similar to what I said (albeit, yours was much more eloquent given it wasn't yelled in the heat of anger and frustration haha) and it was just perfect. Seriously. I give this entire thing a 10. You win.

Also, Pam rapping to Luda is probably the highlight of this entire series. Un-freaking-believable. I loved it.

Author's Response: Ooh, the wedding is getting close! I hope that you have a wonderful, wedding day dearie. There\'s nothing like a beautiful summer wedding. I\'m glad that you enjoyed this chapter and that you were able to relate to it so well, and I hope that you and the fiance were able to talk things out and push all of the nerves aside. And Boston- ahh. So near and dear to my heart. My parents were born and rasied in Massachussetts and my father has THE worst Boston accent you will ever hear in your life. It\'s terrible. And I apologize because I know that not everyone talks like that. Thank goodness that accent wasn\'t past down to me. Although sometimes I\'m slightly resentful that I don\'t have much of any accent at all. Grr

That is... not at all what I expected it was going to be.

Beautifully written and heartfelt... Her pretending the wedding happened and her sister was still going to be coming home? Heartbreaking. Hoping that maybe someday she can have the album out and not hiding? Guh... Devastating.

I'm getting married in 15 days and I know that one of my biggest fears is something happening to someone close to me.

Kelly has always been quite the anomaly for me. Good for you for being able to mix tragedy with her quirky, crazy self - its definitely not something I've been able to master!

Author's Response: Thank you. Kelly definitely has the capacity for surprises, which is why I love writing her. There\'s clues that she knows exactly what she\'s doing - maybe she\'s a secret mastermind? haha I don\'t know if I\'d go that far, but ya know. It\'s fun. Glad you liked this, and thanks for reviewing. :)

I don't typically read or review TO fanfic anymore, but I had to sign on to review this because it's completely spectacular. Your imagery is spot on, and it reminds me so so so much of my first time traveling alone for work. I found myself spending nearly 6 weeks in Chicago and my husband (then my fiance) came to visit one weekend. After I dropped him off at the airport at 8AM, I took the L back to the hotel. It hit me right there in the middle of downtown completely surrounded by people on a Monday morning that I'd never felt so lonely. This was incredible. I really hope you keep it going for a few more chapters.
