A Little Shake

This past week Jason and I became true California residents- we felt our first earthquake. I was sleeping and poor Jason was studying at 4:00am Monday when the earthquake hit. My bed rocking and the shower doors rattling woke me up. By the time I came to and got up, it was over. Jason didn't feel it as much on the couch, and so we were both a little unsure if it was an earthquake, due to our groggy state of mind. But sure enough when we turned on the news later that day, a 4.4 earthquake had hit the LA area. I was very grateful that it wasn't any larger, in fact, it was kind of a good thing for me. How you say? Well, it fixed a little maintenance problem that has been annoying me. Our bedroom door hasn't been latching for some time now and Jason hasn't had time to look at it and I don't want to call maintenance about such a small thing. But, it really bugs me. However, after our little rumble the other day, the door shuts like a beauty!! Who new earthquakes could actually be in your favor? Hopefully this is the largest one we feel while we are here. Unfortunately, LA is due for a bigger one any time now! :(
