Last week, Marcos joined the thirties club with me and I tried to make it as special of birthday for him as possible! I feel like I MIGHT HAVE, NAILED IT! I am so proud of my love and all of his accomplishments. What a heck of a way to ring into the thirties with his career on track and us forming a new life here in England together. I am so thankful for this man and there aren't enough words to express how much I love him!
Cheers to him on this milestone and I know it is only going to get better from here honey!

Marcos enjoys two cakes for his Birthday!
For Marcos 30th birthday I tried to make it extra special by starting it off right with a delicious coffee cake from a Polish store for him to take to work. And from what I heard, his cake was a hit at work! Everyone loved it and said it was the best cake they have had in a while.
After Marcos got off work, I surprised him with another cake, 30th birthday balloons, and dinner. He was so surprised and loved it all! (He especially loved the balloons and wished we could blow them up more right now as they are starting to deflate...lol). I got his second cake from the Polish store as well, since his first birthday cake was such a big hit, plus that's where Marcos got me my birthday cake when I turned 30 a few months back.
He was seriously so surprised all that I had done for him, but the surprises didn't stop there!

30th Birthday on a Narrow Boat!
I was super excited that I found this to do for Marcos' birthday present on AirBnB. Both he and I had never been on a narrow boat, so we were definitely looking forward to it! I booked for a night stay on the boat, then the next day a boat tour around the canals of England.
Everything met above my expectations! We were welcomed to the boat with a beautiful bottle of sparkling wine and beautiful wine glasses and a homemade loaf of bread. We immediately had to pop open the bottle of wine and taste the homemade bread. (both were so delicious!)
After getting settled on the boat, we cooked salmon, asparagus, and cauliflower with a side of salad. It was all so delicious! Cooking a home cooked meal on a boat is pretty cool. We felt so at home and we were so thankful to have had such great hosts! They created such a homey environment for us on the boat. We were able to just truly sit back, relax, and enjoy each other's company.

Marcos drives a Narrow Boat
This was probably the highlight of the trip, touring the canals of England on a narrow boat. Our host was our boat guide and he invited Marcos to drive the boat. Marcos learned so much about how to steer a narrow boat and what all you have to do to drive a narrow boat on the canals of England. It was also cool when we were introduced to the locks, which is kind of like an elevator system for boats. It was super cool to watch as each boat took turns going through the locks.
