I Survived!

I just survived a 4.3 earthquake. I know that's not very big, but it was the scariest thing ever.

Growing up in central California we would experience aftershocks of bigger earthquakes that happened somewhere else. I never felt them though. Travis has been in multiple earthquakes having lived in Japan for quite a few years. Since moving here he has also felt tiny ones that, for some reason, I didn't feel. I was starting to feel a little jealous, or left out if you will, because I haven't experienced one. Why would I be jealous? Call me crazy!

Well today I can officially say that I've experienced an earthquake. I was sitting on the couch and I heard a loud banging upstairs and a little shake. I thought someone must have dropped something upstairs to make the walls shake, but then the couch started shimmying and shaking and I looked over at our lamp next to the couch and it was shaking. I started to jump up to get somewhere safe and it stopped. My heart was racing so fast! It didn't last very long and didn't cause any damage, but I've gotten my experience and I don't want another one! Unfortunately, earthquakes are one of the downsides of living in the bay area. Knowing that a big one can just be around the corner is not very comforting. Has anyone else been through an earthquake?

Funniest Commercial, Ever!

We've been seeing this commercial during the March Madness games and I can't get enough of it. It's seriously so funny and everytime it comes on Travis and I laugh our heads off. Enjoy!

It Was About Time

I don't know if you have been noticing in previous pictures but Travis' hair has been getting longer and longer. He wanted to grow it out after seeing Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. I wasn't a big fan of him growing it out and luckily he finally got tired of it and wanted me to cut it. Ang used to cut his hair, when we lived in Virginia, and did a fabulous job. For some reason though, after we moved, he's decided he doesn't want to pay for a professional cut. So we purchased a clippers kit from Costco that came with everything for under 30 bucks. Travis already estimates that we have paid off the kit. Did I mention he likes to save money? Anyway, he doesn't enjoy me cutting it because he says I take too long. That may have been partly why he was growing it out in the first place. But need I remind him I'm not a professional hairdresser and in my defense I did a faster job this time than the last time (which took almost 2 hours). Hopefully, he'll continue to get regular hair cuts now.

Here is the before.

During.

After.
