IT'S A SHAKIN' AROUND HERE!

Wow! We had an earthquake here a couple of nights ago! I couldn't believe it. I was watching TV because I could not sleep. It was about 1AM and all of a sudden the whole house literally shook for about 5-10 seconds. It was very scary. I didn't know what was going on at first, then realized. When it was over I woke Dan who slept right through it and told him what happened. The kids also slept right through it. After looking it up, I found out it was a 4.5 which is pretty big. I looked out the window and a lot of people were coming out of their homes talking about what had just happened. AT 1AM! Anyway, It was an experience that I really hope does not happen very often.

As for everything else, we are all doing fine. Dan took off for Ft. Worth today for his Navy reserves. His plan is to try and drill out here somewhere, so we shall see. The kids are now registered for school which actually starts this Thursday. They will be going to Leona Cox Community Elementary School. They will be going to the same school still since Elementary goes up to 6th grade out here. That will make it easier on me as well, since I will be taking them to and from school everyday. It costs for the school bus transportation out here which is a bummer. Anyway, that's really all right now.

My husband would be jealous--he really wants to experience an earthquake (and a hurricane, and a tsunami--he's very strange that way).

That is AWESOME that elem. goes till 6th grade. I wish so much that it was that way where I live . . . delay that growing up one more year, you know?

But not so good about paying for public transportation. I've never heard of that.

Sofie, thank you for your sweet message on my blog. I LOVED being in middle and high school with you and consider you one of my best friends, too!
