I’m in such a good mood right now because it’s finally June. This means that summer is here, and my birthday is just around the corner 🙂 As usual, I let my husband plan out my birthday. Normally it’s consist of cake cutting/candle blowing/card reading/gift opening and follow by dinner at one of my favorite restaurants with my husband, and this is also my ideal birthday. Then we’d get ready for our anniversary trip in late June.
This year we’re going to Kenya for our 2nd wedding anniversary. This is our first time to the continent of Africa. We’ve arranged a six day safari and a couple nights in Nairobi. We’ll also make a brief overnight stop in London, which is always great as I can catch up with my best friend. We’re beyond excited as we honestly don’t know what to expect. You can read, hear and watch videos about it, but you’ll never know until you’re physically there. I’ve gotten four vaccinations and numerous doctor’s visits in order to get physically prepared for this trip. I’m currently at the “getting-my-packing-list-ticked-off” stage. There’re still a couple of must-bring items that we still need to buy. But we’re pretty much ready to go…yay!!
Last week one of my best friend from college visited NYC with his family. We got to hang out for the whole day. It was the first time in 5 years we’ve hung out for the whole day. We’ve met a couple times since we graduated and moved to polar opposite side of the world. But mostly for lunch or dinner. This time he cleared out the whole day for me. It was much needed. It felt like the old days- carefree and spontaneous. He always has this easy-going/ non-judgmental/positive energy, and it’s contagious. It really makes your feel great when you’re around people like that.
Happy birthday to all my fellow Geminis! Have a wonderful summer.
