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.

Reminder
Just a reminder to everyone to call Kyllan tomorrow and wish her a Happy Birthday!

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).

Early Birthday present
With my birthday around the corner, I decided to treat myself with a present this year. It was something I had my eye on for a few months now and my Jetta was starting to get pretty shabby. Even my mom told me it was time for a new one. So…. I bought a new Lexus ES350 yesterday. So far, I am really happy with my purchase. It has a smooth ride, and a quiet and comfortable interior…. a major upgrade from my Jetta. The condition of my Jetta was starting to get embarrassing, especially since Willaim’s SUV is about the same age as my Jetta, but his still looks new. Now I won’t be embarrassed when the Corporate office folks come into town and need a ride somewhere 🙂 Click on the photo below to see more photos on my flickr account.

Happy Birthday William!
Happy Birthday to my more than wonderful fiancé who turns 27 today! While in Denver, I found a gray hair indicating he is getting much wiser from all that time spent in the lab 🙂 I had a baby picture that I would have posted, but I think William has my copy, so I will save it for another time. His parents will be traveling to Denver to celebrate with him over dinner at his favorite restaurant, Ruth’s Chris, and I am sure will keep him smiling for the rest of the week during their visit.

My mother’s mother (Granny) passed away over the weekend. Her death was not unexpected, but has still caught me of guard. She will be missed. My cousin posted on the impact my grandmother had on her life. Please take a few seconds to go to her blog and read the post (here).

New Hotness
There was some speculation on my mother getting a new car after my post on the Detroit Auto Show. Well, here it is. Straight off the show room floor. I hear that she is very happy with it.

For those who didn’t already know, recently my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He recently underwent surgery in Detroit and everything went very well. His pathology report returned showing negative margins and negative lymph nodes. The tumor was limited to 10% of his prostate gland and he should not require any additional treatment. Thank you to everyone for keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers.
My parents did find a few minutes to stop by the Auto Show while in Detroit. My Dad has uploaded pictures his flickr account.

Man Post
It has been brought to my attention that my recent lack of post have lead to the blog becoming “girly.” So, now I am making a post about a few manly things. Wake Forest plays Duke tonight at 7pm E on ESPN2. How ’bout those Saints? They do this every year; Build up hope in their fans, only to collapse at the last minute. I am not believer, yet. We will see what happens this weekend. Did Kyllan tell you guys that I moved two large piles of bricks and fixed a door while I was in Dallas during Christmas? My Xbox360 is broken and will have to be sent back to Microsoft for repair. I recently bought a DVD with a THX optimizer on it. The improvement in picture quality is amazing. What are your thoughts on the iPhone? I am not impressed. No 3G, still no 16:9 ratio screen, proprietary OS with no 3rd party OS, no tactile feedback on the keys, no downloading music or syncing over wifi and price. My parents were in Detroit this week (long story, that may or may not be explained later) and had a chance to check out the auto show. Hopefully my dad will post pictures to his flickr account soon… There, I covered the man interest trifecta: Sports/ feats of strength, AV/gadgets and cars.
