46th Birthday Getaway

It was super short but it was very nice πŸ₯° I'm talking about our... Well... Family tradition if you will ☺️ The 3 of us like to celebrate things by spending time away from home. Even if it's just for 1 night and a couple of kilometers away. After a lot of browsing on my part we decided to celebrate my 46th by spending 1 night in Hotel Kempinski 

But let's start from the beginning. And by the beginning I mean June 22nd midnight 😊 Starting from 00:00 am my phone kept getting messages from friends and families. Beautiful prayers, very loving and thoughtful wishes, funny "Happy Birthday" gif, and everything else. Some I replied immediately but mostly I did it in the morning since I really had to go to sleep πŸ˜„ But not before I whispered "Alhamdulillah. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You Allah. For everything." Then I finally went to sleep with a smile on my face.

The next morning I woke up late. Mostly because I was still too sleepy from replying all those lovely messages. I was even too sleepy to give Moochi his breakfast! Poor boy πŸ˜„ Eventually I did wake up and went out of the bedroom to turn on my Mac. Suddenly Dewi and Yuli, our faithful assistants, came in and sang Happy Birthday πŸ₯³ Dewi had this big bouquet of Indocafe Coffeemix and Yuli carried a plate of donuts with burning candles stuck in them. I was stunned. I cried.


I cried even more thanks to Dewi and Yuli's thoughtful wishes for me. It was genuine and very personal πŸ₯² While blowing the candles in tears I couldn't stop thinking what a sweet gesture it was. It must have cost them quite a lot of money. But from our assistants' expressions I could see that they were happy because I was very surprised. So I guess The Dynamic Duo knew for sure that it was worth every penny 😊 After lunch and a long goodbye to Moochi it was time for SiBapa, Kukka and me to go to the hotel. 

Our room number was 515. When we opened the door I was immediately surprised by the colorful balloons on the bed. There was also a big Happy Birthday writing on the window and a plate of yummy cake on the table. It was great 😊 And the surprises kept on coming! Like a long plate of delicious sweet treats and a monopoly board! The day went on with daddy - daughter swimming time and me ordering room service #BURP Later that evening my loved ones went out while I was enjoying me-time in the tub. When they came back... 

IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!!!!! πŸ˜†πŸ₯°

I was totally surprised by the giant burger they gave me πŸ˜† I spent the rest of the night hugging it. I think Kukka didn't expect me to like their birthday present that much. Because she said "You really do like the burger huh?!" YES! πŸ˜† The next morning after having a big breakfast it was time for us to go home. Too bad that we could only spent 1 night because Hubs has lot of work to do. But better than not at all, right? πŸ˜‰ I might have skipped lots of things here but one thing is for sure. 

I am very grateful for everything. I'm 46 and I decided to count my blessings rather than some ugly troubles that are not worth my time, my health, and my happiness. Last but not least, I would like to thank you again, my friends and families, for the love and neverending support, and also to Hotel Kempinski for the lovely birthday treats. May God bless you all. Amen πŸ₯°
