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 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).

Nuggets Game
Although I wasn’t feeling so great, I went to a Nuggets game this past weekend. It was game three of their playoff series with the San Antonio Spurs. Now the guy on the phone made it sound like the student discount tickets we got an e-mail about would be great seats… We were in the very last row. Never the less, we had a great time. There are a few pictures on flickr. If you look hard enough you can see Carmelo and A.I.

Sick
I am not feeling well, so I am not going into the lab today. I am actually getting pretty bored. We didn’t mention it earlier, but in case anyone has been wondering, Kyllan won the March Madness basketball pool for the site. My cousin Robin and her husband Todd came in a close second. Also, there were a few inquiries about the remote that Kyllan brought me and made it so great that I would ask for as a present.The Harmony 880 is THE universal remote. No programming, you plug it into the computer by usb and tell it the make and model of your components and which ones you use with what activities. So you setup an activity like “watch DVD” and it will turn on the TV, receiver and DVD player, turn off the cable box, and set everything to the correct input. The LCD screen acts as the buttons for these activities and switches to customizable buttons once you are in that activity… never mind. I like it. One word, accelerometer.
Kyllan’s birthday is quickly approaching. Unlike me, she hasn’t been able to provide any hints. I was going to get her a Lexus, but she already went out and got that. Oh well.

Catch Up
My parents, and my birthday, have come and gone. I think my parents had a really good time. They have officially seen more of Denver than I have. While I was in the lab, they were out exploring the city. Hopefully they will be uploading pictures soon. (Unfortunately, I took very few over the week.) For the most part, we just hung out. I haven’t been in Denver long enough to know all of the good restaurants. As Kyllan said, on my birthday we ate at Ruth’s Chris, my favorite restaurant. We found a pretty good breakfast place, but it was not as good as Blue Bird in New Orleans or All Good in Dallas.
…A few weeks ago I asked Kyllan what was her favorite photo in my apartment that was not of her. You can find her answer below. My mother says that my dad had just arrived home from being on call at the hospital and were excited to see him. Apparently we were not concerned with the fact that he was on the phone.

Kyllan’s Visit
As Kyllan mentioned in her earlier post, she spent this past weekend in Denver. We had a great time. Along with registering, which she wrote about in her post, we managed to find a little time to explore the city. Even though I have been here for six months, this was my first time getting out and really seeing the sites. I’ve uploaded some pictures of her trip to my flickr account. Check them out when you get the chance. The picture below is of the two of us standing on the steps of the state capitol building. The step we are standing on is exactly one mile above sea level.
Update: Kyllan posted more pictures of the trip to her Flickr account
