Fresas Con Crema, and the Passage of Time

It's amazing, the changes that can take place within a year's time. Since Easter last year we have decided to join a church, to leave a church. To have a baby, then lost the baby. To not have any more children, but got pregnant again. To never leave our wonderful city, and move away the next month. At times it scares me that I don't know my future. Not entirely, at least. I don't know what my life on earth looks like. But I do know that Christ Jesus has risen from the grave and I need not fear the things of this life. He's coming back to take me Home, someday. I hope it's sooner than later, but in the meantime I have children to raise, a husband to love, dreams to pursue, and food to cook =)

This year my husband's family had a big dinner the day before Easter, and my contribution was Fresas Con Crema. A great Mexican classic dessert. Even though I wasn't there for it. I was so exhausted and starting to get a horribly sore throat that I stayed home, eating Fig Newman's and some Fresas Con Crema I saved out for myself. It really was a great combination! ...but that could be pregnancy talking =)
