Obama for President!
What a great night! I am thrilled that Barack Obama has clinched the democratic nomination and will be a candidate for President of the United States. His speech was great. I am so excited about feeling so strongly about a candidate and am ready to put my full support behind him. It is also a great feeling to be part of such a historic moment having the first black candidate to become a major political party nominee. Wow! It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next 5 months until election day. I hope things stay positive and our nation is proud to have someone like Obama as a nominee.

Happy Birthday Kyllan!
I would like to wish a very happy birthday to my wife, Kyllan. Luckily our timing worked out pretty well and the two of us were able to celebrate a few days early while she was still in Denver. We tried a new restaurant for dinner, but stuck to one of our regular stops for breakfast. Apparently Kyllan is a fan of Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops. Who knew? For those of you dying to find out, we managed to see Iron Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Baby Mama. I will save my reviews for another post. There are a few photos of our weekend on my Flickr account.
Call or Text message Kyllan now!
Kyllan at 5yrs old

10 Year Reunion
Well… obviously this week has been very exciting for me, and to top it all off, I celebrated my 10 Year High School Reunion this weekend! Wow… 10 years! The time has gone by very fast. Most of my classmates look the same (just more mature). No one was unrecognizable. About 40 out of the 97 other people who I graduated with came to the reunion, so it was great to see many people who I had not seen since graduation. The school has changed so much since we left. I went to an all girls private school, Hockaday, and it was always a step above the rest, but now…. it is incomprehensible how nice it is . The amenities and technology our first rate…better than some college campuses. I had the honor of sitting on a panel of 10 Year Reunion women who spoke to the senior class on what to expect after graduation from college. It was interesting how most of us on the panel had gone in a completely different direction than we had thought on June 6, 1998 (commencement). However, we were all pleased with where we were and our many successes. We were asked to talk about what Hockaday did not prepare us for. Two of the panelists were expecting their first child, which they explained was one thing Hockaday did not prepare them for. We were also asked to give career tips, which led to everyone discussing the importance of networking. At our reunion gathering Saturday night, we had a chance to look at a questionnaire we filled out during our senior year…”where will I be in 2008?” Here were my responses:
What will you be doing: Completing my 2nd year of residency (I wanted to be a pediatrician)
What will be your greatest accomplishment: Being a doctor
Will you be married: Yes
Will you have kids: Maybe If so, how many: 1
What will have changed most in the world in 10 years: more world peace (wow… was I in a beauty pageant?)
Who will still be famous: Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., LeAnn Rimes
Below is a picture of me with the 7 other African American girls who I graduated with. At the time, this was the largest class of African American girls to ever graduate from Hockaday. The second picture is the from the day we “officially became seniors”, otherwise known as “Ring Day 1997”. I have posted more pictures on my Flickr page.

Can’t Post About It On the Web

Warning: Virus Threat
I should have posted this earlier, but did not think of it. A few weeks ago my father’s computer got infected with a virus. It appears that the virus is now trying to e-mail itself to everyone in his address book. If you communicate with my father via e-mail, please be on the lookout. The message appears to be from him and the subject says something about “you’ve been tagged.” The body of the e-mail claims that he is trying to get you to join him on a social networking site. This e-mail is not from my father, is not from a social networking site and should be immediately deleted. Do not follow any of the links in the e-mail or download any files attached.

Happy Birthday to my favorite Scientist
Mommy, originally uploaded by William Cody Jr.
Today I am wishing a happy birthday to my wonderful husband. I was searching for a picture of him to post and decided to post a picture of him when he was younger. I think this is such a cute picture!

Almost Famous!?
So if you have not heard or seen, William and I were featured in the March 24th issue of Jet Magazine! Many people have asked why it was not a picture from the wedding day. The picture was actually taken at the reception William’s parents hosted for us in Jacksonville, FL in December. The photographer from the reception submitted the photo to Jet and they published it. My name was spelled wrong and they had the wrong information about our Honeymoon (we went to Turks and Caicos, not a Carribean Cruise), but we were just excited that we were even featured. For those who were unable to see it, see below.
