EarthQUAKE!

I almost forgot that we got to experience a real live big earthquake! (I can be excited about this because no one got hurt). At 11:42 am I awoke from a nap because I was shaking and when I looked at our closet doors which are sliding mirrors they looked like those warping mirrors. I sat up fast and grabbed Avery out of her crib. I could hear my neighbors yell "EVACUATE!" which I thought might not be such a bad idea since we live on the second floor, but by the time I got to my door it was over. It was so exciting! But it made me realize how unprepared I am when it comes to emergencies like that. I have only felt one other earthquake but that was in Greece and it was teeny and lasted like 2 seconds. I was also sleeping that time and woke up because I thought someone was shaking my bed to wake me up (I was skipping morning warm ups because my race was through and I was being lazy). This California one was WAY better hitting a 5.4! Some of Michael's coworkers were mad at him because we have lived here for only 3 months and felt a good earthquake and they have been here there whole lives and haven't because they were driving when the earthquake hit and didn't feel a thing. I am just glad that we weren't here for "The Big One" that they keep talking about (knock on wood... we only have a month left).
