Tonight as we were watching the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Matt and I noticed that our family room seemed to be moving. Just as we started to say something to each other, we could hear Timothy hollering from upstairs. "Mom is that an earthquake?" Like I would know what an earthquake felt like. It lasted about 10 seconds and we settled down to finish the Great Pumpkin. It felt like someone was moving the chair I was sitting in. Nothing fell off the walls or anything like that. About 10 minutes later the news reporter broke in that we had had a 5.6 earthquake in the San Jose area. Now San Jose is about 60 miles from us, so it wasn't as though we felt it like they did there. None the less it made for an exciting evening around our house. And not one that I have any desire to have again in the near future...
Love to all...

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying your new home! We miss you out here in Vegas.
How exciting?! Your first earthquake. The first one I had been through was about 8 years ago here in Vegas. Anyway, I called my brother this morning (who lives in San Jose) and he said it was a "good one". Luckily it doesn't seem that it did too much damage.
Anyway, take care and love the blog!
