the story so far…

By mike

so let’s recap a little about what has been going since the he said/she said blog ended…

OCT08: to celebrate our one year anniversary, we went on a (delayed) honeymoon trip to italy.  i think that when i told christi that we were going to go to italy, she was shocked.  i don’t think that she was expecting to hear that as a destination for us.  our trip to italy was fantastic and we had a great time there. oh, and koda got bigger.

NOV08: thanksgiving came and went, but probably the most exciting thing this month was that we went to our first couples massage.  that was really kind of nervous for me, but after it was all said and done, i have to say that it was pretty good. oh, and koda got bigger.

DEC08: december was full of dinners, get-togethers, and other holiday things.  koda was just finishing up his first puppy classes and he was really starting to listen to us.  there was also the glorious day o’ LAN partying.  i haven’t LAN partied since.  oh yeah, and koda got bigger.

JAN09: january was a pretty stressful time, work for me was really starting to hit a critical point and i was getting really burned out.  our friends cheryl and greg moved into their new place which just reminded me about how long we have lived in our place and how much stuff still needed to be done around the house.  oh, and koda got bigger.

FEB09: of course, february means superbowl sunday!  we had a big party of people here enjoying the game in its HD projector glory.  good times.  christi and i went for a weekend getaway at sonoma.  we brought koda with us and he seemed stressed out, but he still got bigger.

MAR09: christi spent most of this month training in preparation for a union strike at her company.  this training required her to climb 25 foot poles…  one of the days got cancelled due to high winds and someone had to be rushed to the hospital the day before.  koda still got bigger, though.

APR 09: april was pretty quiet.  i started a new job at the end of march and i was just trying to settle in.  i was stressed out from all that i had to learn and my nights and weekends were pretty busy.  oh yeah, koda still got bigger.

and that brings us to may.  there have been heat waves and then some cold spells.  some rain and some sun.  and we’ve just started koda up on his second session of puppy training.  christi says he has stopped growing for a few months now, but i still think that koda is getting bigger.  he barely fits in our house now.
