5.4/5.8 Earthquake

Well yesterday was certainly spooooooooooooooky!

I was in the office talking to a colleague and the ground start rolling as the walls started shaking. Spooky crap, anyhow it was one of the strongest that's been felt round here in many years! This happened almost perfectly at lunch time so I (Josh) just went straight home. This was after myself and supervisor checked ourselves in as still alive/present. The whole time I was trying to call Ali and the phones would NOT work. It spooked the crap out of me that in time of emergency the phones don't work, isn't that nice?

Regardless, at home I found pictures were crooked, things had fallen off the wall, off the shelf, and tipped over on the counter. The best was I went to take my meds and opened the cupboard to get a glass and a glass fell out. Miraculously, I caught this glass and it did not break. All things considered it was okay, Ali got through it as did I. So we've both got some steep gratitude to God on that one.

Regardless of all, we Michiganders gone to Californites are still pleased with our new home state. The smogginess, earthquakes, and occasional high heat beat tornadoes, ice cold, and crappy roads...hands down! However, being far from family...especially at moments like this is crappy!

Birthday

Well, tonight (after the spoiling times proceeding) I took Alison to Cheesecake Factory for her birthday dinner. Okay, so it's just a dinner...trust me I understand. But last year at this time we had been out here (Brea, CA) for that and did the exact same thing.

Now the cool part in that is that at that time, we did not live here. We lived in East Lansing, MI...Spartan Village to be exact. But now we're living it up in the OC, the NOC to be exact. But it was cool to do the CF thing one year after and how the whole world, let alone city seems. My oh my how life changes!

The best thing so far, got her the best bouquet of flowers she's ever had before...all I've done is set that darn bar even higher now, shucks!
