Chopped Veggie Salad

Okay, so for one of my wedding showers people were supposed to bring me recipes. I hadn't made any of them until yesterday and boy was it good. Here is the recipe.

3 cups each:
Celery, cauliflower, broccoli, petite frozen peas.

1 cup each:
Spanish peanuts, dried cranberries.

Dressing:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 T. Rice vinegar
2 T. Grated onion
1/4 cup parmesean cheese (ultra fine)
1 1/2 cup mayo

It is so refreshing and yummy! Jeff doesn't like mayonaise and won't even try the salad, so I guess that means more for me! :)

The Crazy Life

Wow...I didn't realize it had been over a month since I had written. I promise I am going to get better at it and maybe even Jeff will post something. Life has been pretty crazy in the past month. We went up to Washington to celebrate my birthday with my family, and went to Arizona for a wedding reception and in the midst of that craziness, Jeff was gone for a week and a half at training. Since then things haven't been getting back to "normal"...and I'm seeming to think that I don't know what "normal" is anymore. I thought it was where life was crazy busy, but I am starting to think it's the other way around. I know it's probably going to get even worse from here on out.

We did get some amazing news yesterday. Most of you know that one of our close family friends, who is like my brother, has been re-diagnosed with osteosarcoma. He has three tumors and has been in a lot of pain. They tried one type of chemo and it wasn't working very well, so they did a couple treatments with another type. He went in yesterday for tests and scans and found out that the tumors are shrinking! We were so relieved and encouraged to hear that news. Praise God!

This weekend we plan on laying low and resting a little bit...I am slowly becoming somebody who likes to be home and have my downtime. Weird...
