Yummy food!!! - Salmon Salad Etc.

Today I made a delicious recipe I found online (http://www.bhg.com/recipes/mealideas/view.jsp?id=2700003).

The link, unfortunately, does not help with how to put it together, so I just mixed up all the ingredients together since that's basically what you do with tuna salad.

Salmon salad tastes better, much better, in my opinion. I'm not sure how to describe the difference but it is amazing! And good for you! This requires much less mayo than I'm accustomed to in tuna salad, which makes it a lot healthier as well. It has green onions (I was a little short), celery, pickles, and dill as well. Yum!!!

On the side I did two of their recommendations, a bowl of black olives and some wheat english muffins with dill butter.

The dill butter is easy, just mix up some dill with softened butter. It tastes great!

This meal would be a delicious one for the summertime especially-very refreshing. It's not too heavy but it filled me up nicely.

Wedding Bells!

Nope, this time they aren't mine! Today I got to see my friends Charlton and Naomi get married! :) We all met in college, and I haven't gotten to see them in a couple of years. Just to be around them for their ceremony and reception for 4 hours today was such a blessing. I've learned so much from these two, whether we were hanging out together or from watching their lives from a distance (thanks, Facebook).

These two remind me of what it means to live joyfully and genuinely for the Lord. They love others (and each other :) ) without hypocrisy. It doesn't matter what's happened before or what's happening now, you'll be greeted with real joy and love! I remember Charlton always popping up out of his chair to give me a big hug, smiling and laughing in his joy at seeing me again. I saw this in his treatment of others, too. Naomi was always there for me too. She was my running buddy for a while, and someone I could always count on. :)

I've pretty much known for years they'd end up together, and so glad they did. :) They are truly a match made in heaven and there's much to be learned from them. God is working so much in their lives! And now they're joined as one and will be a powerful voice for the Lord! These two are so in love with Jesus and exhibit this in their everyday lives and relationships. Yet they also know how to experience life to the fullest, with laughter, smiles and joy. :) It's so infectious.

Congratulations Naomi and Charlton! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your special day!
