Memorial Day weekend

So I don't know about you but it feels like the weekends go by way too fast. I had a nice 3 day weekend and now it's back to work tomorrow. Tyrel and I don't go anywhere for Memorial Day, on account that places are usually booked and there are way too many people. So instead we went to Tyrel's Granny for a belated Easter/birthday picnic. Yeah I know Easter was awhile ago but Granny wanted to wait for the weather to be nicer

Mmm look at all that food!

We ate olives big enough to fit on my fingers!

Other then that it's just been a relaxing weekend, while playing on my new computer. Oh, and Tyrel made ice cream! It happens to be stawberry season, so we made a decilious batch of strawberry ice cream!!

Happy memorial day

Wordless Wednesday: The coolest freezer ever!

This was the freezer door at a barcade we went too!

Mystery flowers revealed!

The flowers in my front area finally bloomed and the are so pretty! Turns out I have two different types of irises, purple (one of my favorite colors) and white.

The taller one I still feel looks more like a vegetable plant but my grandma thinks it's hollyhock. Either way it's still really pretty too

On the other side of  my front door I also discovered I have small rose bush with white roses blooming!

I love my little garden!

Home sweet home

I've been wanting to do this for awhile but haven't really got around to it. I also feel this place didn't really feel like "home" with random boxes everywhere. But now that we got everything situated and in it's proper place I feel it was time to take some pictures. 

Welcome to our home!

This place is definitely old and falling apart in some places but we make due with what we have. We are both just really glad we were able to find a place in Salem, closer to where we both work. It's not perfect but it's home

Our tiny kitchen

Dining room with my messy desk

 And yes we do have a kitchen table but we don't have it set up all the time because there isn't room with my desk being there.

Well that's it. Now you've seen our home. Happy Saturday

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival

I'm going to try and make this post quick. It's been a slightly busy weekend. Spent yesterday cleaning my house for a good 4 hours, locked myself out of my house for another hour, ate dinner and then I was beat. Today was another busy day, for I spent the day at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn!

I've always heard of people talking about it and with only a $5 admission I just couldn't resist. Well I went with a good friend of mine I use to work with and let me say it was definitely worth the trip and money. Not only are there gorgeous tulips to look at, there are food stands, a gift ship along with other small stands where you buy stuff, and some rides and bouncy houses for little kids! You could even buy bulbs to plant in your own garden! If I had my own garden I so wouldn't have bought some. It was pretty cool and I definitely wouldn't mind going again next year

So many colors!

Say "cheese"

Not sure what he is playing on but it made beautiful music!
