Last night, I was laying in bed awake and I felt the bed shake a little. I looked over at Kris and he was fast asleep and completely still. It freaked me out a little because I considered the possibility that it might've been an earthquake, but quickly dismissed the idea.
I woke up this morning and thought I would check the internet for any earthquake activity in the area and sure enough, my suspicions were right.
Growing up in Indiana, nothing exciting ever happens, except the occassional tornado warning. So, to me, this was pretty thrilling.
Here is some information about it that I thought was interesting.

Wow, I bet that was weird! I always wanted to know what it would be like to feel an earthquake. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Its so nice of you to say. Can you believe its been that long since those chorale days? Maybe you can four kids later, but that's just crazy. Hope all continues to go well on the other side of the world!
