What's happenin?

So what's happenin in the life of us? Not much, to be honest. We got our Christmas tree set up, Mr. Barcenas is almost done with his finals, and I'm trying to go gluten free. Let me just tell ya, it is NOT very much fun. Why am I going gluten free? I'm trying to see if my migraines are due to a gluten intolerance. I decided that the drug I was taking for my migraines wasn't very healthy, so I got off of it. My neurologist suggested a few years ago that I try a GF diet but I decided it was unrealistic at the time, because I'm from a family of seven. Eating something different then everybody else all the time would suuuuuck. So now that it's just me and Mr. Barcenas, I've finally decided to try it. It's actually not as hard as I thought it was going to be in the beginning. Sure I can't eat out, but there are LOADS of foods that I can eat. I already make a lot of my food at home, so it's not really a big lifestyle change. I just can't eat bread or crackers or brownies, which is probably for the best :P Mr. Barcenas has had to make a change to his cooking habits, though. When he cooks, he almost always has a gravy, and gravies are made with flour. So, he cooks my food first, then makes his gravy :P I've been finding all of this a fun learning experience. In mt first semester at school, I had a roommate who was GF, and she made it sound/look like she couldn't eat aaaaaaaanything. I always felt super bad for her. You just have to know where to look for foods. 
Oh! I also FINALLY got my wedding pictures from my photographer. It's taken 4 1/2 MONTHS! That's a really long time. I kinda got totally peeved at her. There are some pretty cute pics in there though :) I'm going to send them off to my sister, so she can play with them.
