It’s been awhile since our last significant earthquake here in L.A. It wasn’t so surprising – afterall, we’ve been having what’s been deemed “earthquake weather” for just about a month now. Carrie’s office was approximately 13 miles from the epicenter – and she was definitely rockin’ & rollin’ in the Fullerton/Brea neighborhood. Ed’s office in Tustin is only about 18 miles away – and he was definitely shakin’ too. But all is well, and we’re happy that all of our friends and family are fine – that’s the important part!
While we did okay at work, the real surprise was when we got home – our little place in Long Beach really was a mess! We are sad to report that we lost some of those great wedding gifts we received … wine glasses, beer steins, glass trays and picture frames. Cupboards were jostled, drawers were disheveled, and there were 2 very frightened cats! Nothing major, just a big, inconvenient mess! But that’s about all.

Glass & olive oil – not a fun combo to clean up, just ask Ed!
Oh man, you guys got it bad! I am so sorry! I am glad the kitties were ok! Love you guys!
Oh my god, I did not know that your home got hit so bad. The shaking and rolling seemed to be going on forever but nothing fell or broke in my LB office, so I assumed your home was okay too. I am so sorry that some of your wedding gifts were destroyed. I am glad you were not there when it happened and your kitties were OK!
