I spent the entire year of 2009, gluten free!! Since going gluten free in June of ‘08, it certainly has gotten easier and easier. It makes me happy that all of 2009 was spent with my happy, healthy, and gluten free! Let’s look at the highlights, shall we?
JANUARY
I started 2009 out with a Foodbuzz sponsored Martini party.
Tasty! And I registered my domain name!
FEBRUARY
And realized that I LOVE lima beans :)

So wonderful! How fun to look back at your year =D. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings!
Great recap! I love the bumper sticker - how do I get one exactly? I would LOVE one! -Kim || http://affairsofliving.blogspot.com
I LOVE the picture Alex snapped while Parrish was proposing! What a look on your face :) I wish I could have seen what I looked like when Isaac pulled out my ring, I'm sure I probably looked like I was havinga stroke!
I love that the mozz stix made the list! Those looked so good. I hope you open up your own gluten free restaurant someday... I'd totally hoof it down south for some of that.
Your proposal picture is beautiful - and what a great recap on your year!
Cheers for 2010!
