So the other night at around midnight a 4.7 earthquake hit! (It was first a 4.9 but then they downgraded it...I still think it was stronger than that!) I was asleep and Rob was getting ready for bed. When it hit I jumped out of bed and we both ran down the hallway to get Ava. She actually slept through it, but woke up as Rob and I were running into her room to check on her! A few things fell to the floor and some of our friends had glass break and pictures fall as well. We had a few more 3.0 shakers that night, and one Saturday morning. Then today at church we had two 3.0's hit AGAIN! The second time I was up in Young Womens which is upstairs above the nursery room. All I could imagine was crashing down to the first floor and landing on my baby! Anyways, it seems now that earthquakes have come a part of our daily lives. Hopefully they stop soon or the "big one" hits so we can just get this over with. Everytime a quake hits, it freaks me out and it takes forever to calm down after it. And now when I hear a car rumble by or motorcycle start I think "here comes another one." Maybe it will throw me into labor although I don't want an earthquake to hit while Im delivering the baby! Wish us luck!
(On a good note, our 72 hour kit is complete and we are ready for anything that comes our way! "Natural disaters" really make you realize what things are important in life and its made me want to read my scriptures more and be a better wife/mom....among other things!)
I saw on the Web site that two hit during church. Yikes! This is just the craziest thing! I don't think people can understand how scary it is until they've been in it for weeks on end. Anywho, I'll call you to see how things are going soon! I think of you guys often throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so scary! I hope they stop soon for you guys.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA that is funny, not the whole earthquake thing but wanting to be better. IT is scary thought Steve and I were reading CNN the other day and it very scary as you read each article, fire, flooding, earthquakes, food shortage, it does make you stop and think. Good Luck.
