The Dude helped make the cake!
Hey well I like to say it's better late than never! So I'm a slacker wife, NOT! Today is Joel's b-day and I've been running around like a chicken w/ my head cut off to pull off his b-day. I first cleaned my disgusting kitchen (that I didn't feel like cleaning last night), ran to Wal-Mart to get b-day cake stuff, came home, got the kids, went to the airport to get Joel's mom, stopped at Sam's club on the way home to get his gift, came home, made his annual carrot cake (from scratch might I add), made a yummy chicken Marsala dinner w/ sparkling cider, and then we reaped the benefits of it all. I normally don't like to toot my own horn, but I must say that is one yummy moist carrot cake! I really am not a carrot cake person, but this... TAKES THE CAKE!!! Ha ha ha. It also has cream cheese frosting. What more need I say. But, I am a slacker in regards to not having done this blog earlier today. I'm sure Joel was checking the blog at work every few minutes just waiting for my profession of undying love for him on his b-day and he got... THE BEST B-DAY PARTY EVER! Okay not really, but hey he has his family here (minus Norby), a rockin b-day feast, and well he is married to yours truly! Wow, I sound conceded. It's just like what Joel McHale from The Soup says about Tyra Banks, she makes everything about herself on her show, and I am making Joel's b-day tribute about me. So let me tell you why I think Joel is the shizzzz...: (p.s. sleep deprivation makes you think you are some white guy trying to be a rapper)
1) Amazing blue eyes... seriously check them out next time you get a chance.
2) Hilarious. That is one quality about Joel that I love and hate. Never knows when to be serious when I'm mad at him!!! But we always have a good laugh.
3) Very caring
4) Genuine
5) Hard worker. Seriously he is sleep deprived (4 hrs/night(yep he's trying to kill himself) and he still goes to work at 5:30AM)
6) He's a big kid and loves to play w/ the kids (when he's not a zombie from #5)
7) Loves nature/ animals (Besides Bella, or bologna as he referred to her)
8) Big Teddy Bear and is not afraid of his softer side.
9)Has big dreams of helping other people in need.
10) Can speak 3 languages... come on that's pretty freaking awesome! Spanish (first language), English, and Italian
11) Knows a bit, or sometimes a lot about tons of things, so he can talk really to anyone.
12) A big people person. He's hard not to like.
13) Very passionate and strong willed..... AND STUBBORN!!! But, so am I.
14) Best speed walker I know.
15) I could go on and on, but really Joel is amazing. I love him. He's my BFF. I'm so happy we get to share this crazy experience called life w/ each other and our beautiful kids!
MAGIC KINGDOM
Really quickly, on our Florida trip we went to the Magic Kingdom and it was a blast! Joel's parents, abulea Hilda, Tia Marilu and cousin Maria Noel and baby Gabby came w/ us. It was so fun. Abuela was in a wheel chair, but that gave us access to all of the fast lines which really was amazing in the heat! Gianluca loved all of the rides especially Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear. Next time we go I'd love to go for a couple of days so we'd have more time. But it was a blast!!!
