saying goodbye to the office

when michael and i first met, the office was pretty much the main thing we had in common

in fact, i remember the day after we met (although i'd seen him before) at a dance, 

we were hanging out in the mothers room at church while i nursed baby noah (scandalous)

and we talked and laughed about the office

then michael schemed to come see me at my parents house 2.5 hours away

to watch the next episode together, a few weeks later

it was truly a big part of our relationship

once we got married (and i'm sure while we were dating, too)

we watched every episode together

and usually ate a little caesars pizza with coke slurpees

highlight of my week, for sure

we often joked  that our relationship is based on the office

and that if ever ends, we end

we have literally seen every episode, and most of them several times

we own the first 6 seasons 

i bought michael a pam shirt our first married christmas

that says, "dunder mifflin, this is pam"

that is still going strong

even though i wear it a lot at home during my pregnancies

and even got some holes in it while stripping the stokke crib before olive was born

and it's covered in paint

the office is hilarious

it is awkward and sarcastic and so easy to relate with
my sister and i talk all the time
and we are constantly cracking each other up
with office quotes

so...it was with heavy hearts that we watched the series finale last night

me in michael's old pammy shirt

and him in his new birthday office shirt

we were so happy that steve carell made a cameo

and i think they did a good job wrapping it up

i do wish we'd planned better to have another office party

(we totally schruted it)

but i don't think we could've topped the last one

 goodbye my lover,

goodbye my friend

you have been the one.

you have been the one for me
