Happy Birthday Mr. J – 2017 [Photos]

by

Today is a big day for the LOML (love of my life) aka Mr. J. It’s his BIRTHDAY!!!

He is celebrating his birthday with me in the Azores. Unfortunately, this means no Porkapalooza again this year. Hopefully, we will be back soon to host another one.

As you know, Mr. J has not been posting as much here on Jeffsetter. He is focusing on his business and exploring the world with me. This means he has not had a chance to process and post photos, or write his very helpful week in travel, both something he loves to do.

In honor of his birthday, I decided to post some of his photos that I love, but he hasn’t shared (or at least I don’t think he has).  While his photos are pretty see, each one is a memory we shared which makes me love them even more.

[So – Mr. J, I added my thoughts as a caption below each photo. Hopefully, it will make you laugh or at least smile, as you know I am the funny one in the relationship. Everyone else can hopefully just enjoy the photos.]

If any look familiar, then you may be an avid follower on Instagram or Facebook. ;)

Happy Birthday Jeff! (aka Mr. J)!!

Love you!!

Ok enough of the sappy crap, here are some of my faves of Mr. J’s photos.

Laundry day in Corniglia, Italy, started raining and the last load would not dry!
Blue Light Specials (who remembers these?), oh and the drive back where we were almost killed by rabbits in what I can only assume was a rabbit gang initiation aka the Hoppers
Missed out on fishing (which you would have hated), but caught the sunrise in Murrells Inlet (things work out for us)
That time this was our back yard in New Zealand
What’s at the end of this horrible dirt road in the middle of nowhere? Oh, this beautiful lake. Thanks Patagonia.
Our friend that introduced us, drinking mini champagnes and laughing at how hilarious we are
That time we almost ran out of gas in Patagonia, but this view was totally worth it.
The question we get most, “In all of your travels, where have you felt the most unsafe?” Answer: “the U.S.”
Discovering a random Italian village in Costa Rica, and finding out it now has one of the top 10 hotels in Costa Rica – Las Catalinas
One of the 600 plus sunsets we have shared, oh and I was warm so radiantly warm
One of the million times I demanded my photo be taken and the one that turned out :)
Our apartment in Corniglia, one of my favorite “homes”
Learning how the Smokey Mountains/Blue Ridge Mountains got their name, plus Sliding Rock!! Sooooo cold!
That time you abandoned me and went to the Holyland
Brainstorming about the cat cafe we will own one day – “Show me your Kitties!”
Jeff, I live here now. Unfortunately, I booked the wrong date at the hotel, but they let us stay anyway.
OMG, the light!!!! OMG it is so freaking cold, but I didn’t use the word freaking.
Look its a koala…in a tree…in the wild!!!! Stop the CAR!!!! and then we almost died, but we got that photo of the koala.
When you almost got hit by a bus, and then you did get hit by a cable car….too soon?
Walking off all the dim sum we ate on this trip!
Our road trip on the Great Ocean Road for birthday month, then we stayed at a light house. I hope your birthday month is as great as mine was!!!

Love you Mr. J – may your travels be safe, your love be strong and you birthday be the best ever!

Boom goes the weasel.

    Happy Birthday, Jeff! You guys are living the dream ?

    Hope your travels continue to be as wonderful and rewarding as they have been over the past year. And I have to agree, I’ve felt the most unsafe in the U.S. too. But I have to say, I thought you guys were fearless after learning about your adventures around the wrong side of West Maui ?

    But aren’t the “bad experiences” often the best? They at least make for good stories… most of the time!

    Thanks Kyle! I also say the US because we are probably more bold venturing into areas off the beaten path in our home country. That picture was taken in Hawaii :)

    As long as no one gets hurt, the stories are usually pretty good.

      Very true! And you know what? I’m not surprised that photo was taken in Hawaii… That’s fairly common here lol. In fact, the street near my in-laws home (which is a good, safe area) had a couple cars on bricks on it, plus another couple of wrecked cars… So, yeah… lol
