we are fine!

it official! we've been through our first earthquake. we are fine. we live about 40 miles away from the epicenter. i was rocking mia to sleep for her afternoon nap when the house started shaking. at first i thought there was someone in the closet (childhood flashback!)...then i thought there was a work crew doing some heavy duty work outside...then it was over. all i could really think about during this time was, whatever is going on it better not wake up mia! i just got the rat to sleep! it was not until i went downstairs and saw my cell phone, which had a text from jeff asking if i was okay that i realized what had happened. jeff, you win. you were the first to check on me. who would have guessed architect's office was so up on things! mom, you were a close second! ;) so anyway. we are fine. i have talked to a few friends, and they had much more dramatic experiences. especially those who work in a high rise building. anyway. life goes on. overall, i don't think it was a big deal. but, the news would probably like you to think otherwise. i am enjoying all of the live interviews though. lots of people with plastic surgery, many foreigners, government workers trying to take the rest of the day off...haha! i was supposed to clean the kitchen but, forget that. this is good stuff.
