Only 100 days to go and I am definitely getting more excited with each passing day, although I will say I am even more excited about what happens beyond day 100 as William and I start our new life as a married couple. I was able to attend the wedding of my linesister, Courtney, over the Memorial Day weekend and it was beautiful. I had a great time witnessing the marriage of two people who love each other so much and spending time with my crazy but wonderful linesisters again!!(I posted pictures on my flickr account). It is kinda weird to see ourselves and our friends getting older and getting married, buying homes, and having children (congrats Joscelyne!), yet extremely exciting as we venture out into “new territory”. I wish everyone much success, courage, and happiness as we take those bold steps.

ASM Wrap-up
So, I am back from ASM. If you don’t know, ASM stands for the “American Society for Microbiology.” What I am referring to is the ASM general meeting. Last year I had a great time. This year, it was just okay. Seminars, symposiums, keynote speakers, posters… all the same things went on, but they just weren’t as enlightening as last year. I also think think the organization wasn’t so great this year. The Pseudomonas talks were scheduled at the same time as the majority of the Pseudomonas posters. Those were the two things I was looking forward to the most, but I didn’t have enough time for them both. Also, me and the PI got stuck with a Friday morning poster presentation date. Friday is the last day of the conference and is always poorly attended. Last year, we held court and had a lot of interesting discussions about our posters. This year, we spoke briefly to the people that trickled by. Overall it was still worth going. It’s always interesting to see what other people are working on. As a student, it is always interesting to see what things are completely over my head. Next year it is in Boston. (Sorry, no pictures.)

ASM 2007
I am currently in Toronto for the American Society for Microbiology General Meeting. If you noticed the lack of posting or my comments the past few days, it because I was gathering data up until the last minute for my presentation. Everything came out pretty well and I am excited about the meeting. I doubt that any of you would actually get all that excited about anything going on here, so I will wait until I return to give a recap. I’ll be pretty busy with events at the conference, so I am afraid there won’t be to many pictures.

The Drs. Lewis
Congratulations to Neil and Tami on their recent medical school graduation. You can read all about it on Neil’s blog, The Chronicles of NL. He posted pictures to his website and his flickr. You should also check out the pictures of their son. Other than this post, links can be found in the right hand sidebar. For those who don’t know, Neil is one of my closest friends and will be a groomsmen in my wedding, just as was one in his. (As always, I don’t use full names in post. Eventually the post are indexed by google’s search engine, and I don’t want to help anyone’s ex stalk them. If every there was an occasion, this would be it. Congratulations again.)

Happy Mother’s Day
Kyllan and I would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to our mothers, Betty and Sandra. (If Kyllan had made this post you would find the mushy stuff here.) We would also like to say Happy Mother’s Day to the rest of our friends and family.

Happy Birthday Kim N.!
Happy Birthday to my lovely sister, Kim. I enjoyed being able to celebrate with her over the weekend. Yes, I do remember being upset that she went to prom on my 9th birthday and “stole to attention” away from me despite the fact I already had a party both during and after school!

Happy Birthday Kyllan
Happy Birthday to my Beautiful fiancee Kyllan. It seems like just yesterday we were 22 years old and going on our first couple of dates. It’s funny to think, next year I can look in the “wife” section of the birthday cards. Kyllan and her sister, Kim N., threw a party last night. Hopefully they will provide some pictures and tell us all about it later.

Summer Movies
So it begins. The first weekend in May has arrived, signaling the start of huge summer movie releases. What movies are you planning to see in theaters this month? I guess I will go see Spiderman3. I will also try and see 28 weeks later, the sequel to 28 days later, and Shrek the Third. I will not be going to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The last one was horrible.

1 year old
It seems like just yesterday that I was working on a presentation and looking for a way to procrastinate. The result, of course, was the creation of The Cody Report. 365 days and 116 post later, here we are. We’ve shared birthdays, made big announcements,given tours,taught you little about our family, and shared loads of photos. With 479 comments, it appears that our friends and family have enjoyed joining in on the fun. The most commented on post? “Man Post,” of course. A response to a comment I received off-line (you know who you are) about kyllan’s many workout post. #2 Was the holiday movie post. This all started out as an experiment. A year later, I would say it has been a big success. This site will be here for many years to come and we hope you continue to visit.
So, anything to say about year one? Is the site design getting boring? I was thinking about making the links darker. Is there a particular event you would like us to recount? Should there be a reoccurring post, like “old photo Wednesday?” I was thinking of a “caption this photo contest, but never got around to it…
If you have never left a comment on the blog, nows your chance (you know who you are).
