31 Things I Love about Jake

So it was Jake's birthday last week, the 28th of November to be exact. It was my intention to take him out to a nice dinner, make him the devil's food cupcakes with milk chocolate frosting he wanted, and write this blog. Baby Mahalo had other plans and I pretty much spent the night in bed. Then I got very busy and all Jake got was a "happy birthday" from me and some pizza for dinner. Well, I am here to make this right! We will go out for a lovely dinner this weekend, the cupcakes just came out of the oven, and here is my ode to the love of my life! In no particular order, 31 things I love about Jake...

1. His spot on impression of Borat, which makes me laugh just thinking about it.

2. His concern for global warming.

3. His dedication to school.

4. The fact that he buys me flowers for no particular reason.

5. When he talks to our baby, and reminds me that I should probably stop swearing soon.
