Rock n Roll!

Well a few weeks ago Chad and I were at the temple. Halfway through the session we experienced a small earthquake. That’s when I thought to myself, "Self, if I'm going to die this is the place to do it." I'm pretty sure it was around a 1 or 2 on the Richter scale. The Reno temple is on the North side of town and we live on the south side in a condo. Our old apartment is on the North side and it makes me glad we moved. The extra 600 square feet of living space was also a bonus.

Northern Reno has been the epicenter of a bunch of little earthquakes since late February. None of them have been any bigger than a 3.2 and we’ve really only heard about them on the News. Thursday there was a 3.7 that shook the house and Cowboy told me the wind was shaking it. We'd only felt little tremors until last night.

At around 11:30, I woke up to our whole house shaking. That sure was fun let me tell you. My immediate thought was "get the kids" but before I could even get out of bed it was over. I don't know how I fell back asleep. Ever since the California earthquake (I can't remember the name of it) when I was in 5th grade I've sort of been paranoid about earthquakes. I think it has something to do with my teacher telling my class that Utah was over-due for a big one. She also felt inspired to tell us that when it hit, the waves would bounce off the mountains and make it even bigger. I know it was very comforting to my 10-year-old mind. Anyways. . .

Somehow I fell back asleep. Can I just say that Chad didn't move an inch and the boys slept through the whole thing. Well when I woke up to feed Mooch at 2:30 the news said it was a 4.7, the biggest one so far. According to the news usually there is one big earthquake and then the smaller ones. But apparently we are working backwards? So there have been a lot of little earthquakes and one bigger one, at least they are hoping that was the big one. Well after reading through our renters insurance we're not covered for earthquakes. So guess what I'm doing today!!!
