A family friend passed away this week. She found out she had lukemia while giving birth to her first child. It definitely put a lot of things in my life in perspective. I'm continually praying and thinking of the families affected by this tragedy.
Today I am thankful to still have these things to look forward to in the future.

Can I own the bakery with you? It would be amazing.
I think I know who you are talking about, small world! My friend Ali was a very good friend of hers, and I knew her family when we lived up in the foothills. Very sad news, indeed. May her husband, sweet baby and family be blessed with peace at this sad time.
Oh, I guess I better answer your question! I look forward to:
creating my little one acre farm complete with chickens, goats, garden and a bike path!
reading lots of great books and continuing to expand my mind by learning about this great world.
One day seeing those I love accept the gospel or return to it, helping them in the process
Becoming a better cook, learn to enjoy it more
Live in France for a month, and take a cooking class by the woman who wrote "On Rue Tatin"
Exploring all the Jane Austen sites.
And while we are on the subject of books, how about all the sites of Anne of GG!
Return to Chile and visit people, get that Chileno back in my tongue
Dye my hair blonde :)
