Well, this week in Virginia we experienced a couple of "firsts". On Tuesday August 23rd I was sitting at my desk. It was nearly two in the afternoon and a lot of my coworkers were at lunch. All of the sudden the floor was shaking like someone was running near my cube. Me and a coworker looked at each other wondering what was going on. Before we evacuated the blinds and the overhead lights started to shake. We decided it was time to evacuate the building. Once we got downstairs we found out that there was an earthquake. You heard right, and earthquake. A 5.9 at that. About a half hour later I was able to contact Brian. He was at home sleeping. He was on the couch and he said that it started to shake, along with the walls.
Then yesterday (8/27) we experienced another first. A hurricane. Irene graced us with her presence yesterday. We were very fortunate, no damage and we didn't lose our power. We spent the whole day streaming Mad Men on the Internet to our television. And today it is beautiful out.
Upcoming to our blog. A promise to write more. In two weeks were are going to be experiencing another first. Our first cruise!
