Last night, Matt and I were watching CSI when we felt our couch start shaking. Then we could feel our entire apartment shake. By the time we realized what on earth was happening, the earthquake was over. We live in the second floor of our apartment, we felt it a lot. We could actually see the building shake. I was really shaken up by it. (hahaha) My heart was racing for the rest of the night. After the quake (it was only a few seconds long) I checked on Haley. It didn't stir her at all. I told my landlord that she probably just thought I was rocking her.
Fortuneately, no damages or victims have been reported throughout the country. It ranked on the rictor scale as 5.9, which is pretty big. The epicenter of it was just 41 km (26 miles) from San Jose. We are praising God that no one is hurt and that nothing in our apartment was messed up.
Matt was laughing because it scared me so much. He said "You lived in California, haven't you been in an earthquake before?" I told him that movies over depict the frequency of earthquakes in CA that they do not happen that often. I hope that is the only earthquake that we feel while we are here in CR. Praise God that nothing happened during the earthquake. It made me realize just a little more his awesome power if he can shake an entire counrty. Matt said it makes the song "Can you feel the mountains tremble?" So much more powerful to him.

Just got home from a week end holiday and was so excited to have a couple of new entrys on your blogg. Happy no damage from the quake and want to comment on your wishing to give your baby more material things. Kids have so many things I read mothers are cleaning out and throwing away stuff all the time. What the two of you are giving your little girl will never have to be thrown out. I know how you want her to have everything but with the smile I see on her face she is most happy. I see my grandchildren loving many simple things and I wish they could have the experiences little Haley is having every day. There is a crown waiting worth much more than any toys you could supply. Keep up the good work. linda
