That's right, California was a rockin' this morning at 11:48. Chris has just come home and we were sitting in our room talking, when all of the sudden the house began to rumble. At first we were both thinking....ok what are the nieces and nephews doing now... but wait, they are NOT even here! So it finally hit us that it was a earthquake. We both ran to the doorway as Chris's mom ran to another and we sat there huddled together til it passed.
It lasted about 15 second but of course it felt longer than that. I felt like we were rolling along on some violent waves! After some time we went down stairs to catch what they were saying on the news. We felt one more brief aftershock that sounded like a bomb going off. We all just sat there feel a bit dizzy and a bit stunned but we were just fine!
Because of the excessive use of phone calls, many lines were giving the busy signal. All the family was just fine... and luckily nothing fell over/off in the house. Chris made a point, saying that things like this really make you realize how "insignificant" we are in the scheme of things.
WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

haha that's crazy! sounds like a bigger earthquake than i've ever experienced in Cali... usually they are just "tremors," or whatever it is they call them. Anyway, I'M GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE. I love you.
