Happy birthday JoeJoe!

OK, we’re going to work backwards here…

Last night was JoeJoe’s birthday. OK, so TODAY was JoeJoe’s birthday but we celebrated last night.

Joe's birthday cake at his birthday party.

About 45 minutes after I was supposed to get there JoeJoe gave me a call because he was worried about me. I told him I was there but just trying to find parking so he offered to come help. This offered up a brilliant opportunity. Julie was in my car. Julie, who as far as Joe knew was 1,000 miles away in Florida. So…while we waited for Joe to come down, Julie hid in the back seat of my car, and when Joe sat down inside, She jumped up with a pompom and yelled “surprise!” And that, well, totally surprised the heck out of Joe 🙂

After finding parking we headed back to Joe’s place, ate some pizza, played some Mario Kart, watched some blueray. And Alina baked a yummy cake! Then we headed off to a bar where I got my fav raspberry beer and we all chatted for a bit and I tried my damndest not to fall asleep.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
