Earthquake

So we experienced our first earthquake today. It was 5.6 in magnitude. It was quite scary as we have never actually felt the earthquake when it has happened. I (Melissa) was at home with both our parents and Matthew was driving to his supervision. The whole house shook for approximately 20 seconds and things came flying off our walls. The only things that broke were are wedding plate that Matthew's Grandma had given us (but can be replaced) and one of our regular dinner plates, bummer. At least everyone was o.k. and I was so thankful to have other people here with me when this happened. Right after the earthquake I tried calling Matthew but could not get through for about 30 mins. When I finally talked to him he was in the car at a stoplight and did not think that it was that bad (he probably wished he would have felt it the way we did). But praise God everyone is safe!
