The City of Love

We went on a short little hike near First Dam.

Fun was had by all as can be seen!

Our first apartment. We have Porter to thank for taking this picture for us.


It has become somewhat of a tradition for Jenn and I to travel to Logan for Valentines. We call it the city of love as that is where we met, fell in love, and lived for the first year of married life. We went for a little hike and played some Frisbee at First Dam, ate at Cafe Sabor , and, much to their dismay, gave Porter and Andrew a tour of our previous life.

Daniel and the lions den

Little P-diddy read his first scripture today in church. I was not able to go watch but Jenn told me he did and awesome job and may have even brought a tear or two to a few eyes. I asked him this morning what scripture he liked the most and he told me that he liked Daniel and the lions den. So we opened up the scriptures and found a good one from that story. He and Andrew had matching ties which had been purchased by Grandma Cranney the previous day. The two of them looked really cute. See Jenn's blog (www.mjpcranney.blogspot.com) for more on Porter's little talk.

The Crazy Fun Hat Run

Yesterday, Jenn, JoAnn, Liz and I competed in the Crazy Fun Hat Run. Liz was the event organizer and it ended up being a hit. Fifty plus people showed up for the free race. I, like most husbands, am so proud of my wife. Only recently (within two weeks) did Jenn start feeling like she had enough energy and was getting enough sleep at night to start running again. Her pre-race training consisted of above 5 runs. The day before the race she was still trying to decide if she should do the 5 or 10K, and then someone (I won't name them) questioned whether she could do the 10K. That made the decision an easy one for her. She finished the 10K with a really good time considering her short training regimen. She is such an awesome person. Most people don't realize how competitive she is because she, unlike me, competes with tact. But, if you doubt her toughness she will quietly douse your uncertainty. JoAnn and Liz did exceedingly well too. This was JoAnn first race and she finished above the middle of the pack. Liz is a veteran racer and this was the first of 10 races she hopes to do in 2010. My friend Todd came down and took second in the 5K with a 7:42 min/mile avg.

My competitive nature won't allow me to mention that in spite of how well JoAnn, Liz and Jenn did, I still beat all three of them.
