We Survived an Earthquake:

Last night Jake and I were each laying on a couch watching the deleted scenes on our Office Dvd's and we felt the couches shaking for a couple seconds. Jake stopped our laugh fest and we both looked at eachother and Jake said, "THAT WAS COOL, DID YOU FEEL THAT?" I totally did, it was a wierd feeling, but pretty cool!

I guess I was out of it because I didn't feel a thing! Wow. Thanks for the info.

Hey Tiff what a wild day in your neck of the woods! I was at that gas station in Centerfield yesterday afternoon on my way home from Fish Lake! And an earthquake in the same day! Things are gettin wild down there! But I still want to live down there anyway!

I'm with Bree, I guess I was out of it too. Although it may not have reached me, so that could totally be my excuse.

Scary and fun at the same time. I hear they almost happen daily here in Utah.... they just usually aren't large enough to feel. I have NEVER felt one. KNOCK ON WOOD.
Miss you
