Day 9 and 10

Day 9 is a favorite picture of my best friend and Day 10 is something I'm afraid of...

Well my best friend is of course my hubby. He's the only one I ever spend time with besides family pretty much. So I know I've used this pic before but I think my husband's pretty hot and I'm gonna use it again. He was quite the stud in high school too and I wish I knew him then. Still trying to figure out how this guy didn't have like 20 girlfriends. He's just way too cute.

He also showed me this calendar thing he found last night from his mission. They took pics of the missionaries and made them a little calendar. As hot as he looks in the picture above... he is ever so handsome in a suit. No wonder some of the sister missionaries were eying him. He looked really good in those pictures. I should scan and post those sometime. Okay so enough of my husband that I'm extremely attracted to....

Day 10...something I'm afraid of.... first thing that comes to mind, especially with what's happened in Japan, is earthquakes. Now you would think someone who lived in So Cal for 21 yrs would be used to them. I don't think so. I've lived through the Landers 7.3 in 1992, the Northridge 6.7 in 1994, the Ludlow (Hector Mine... I think we called it Joshua Tree) 7.1 in 1999, and hundreds of other smaller ones. I kind of remember Landers. I was running around following my mom while she tried to save stuff from falling off the shelves. It was the longer wavelengths though so it rolls more. Landers is like 170 mi from Simi. Then I definitely remember the Northridge quake. We're a whopping 15 mi from there and it was the most violent shaking I've felt in my life. Like a giant picked up our house and shook it up and down. Not to mention all the damage we had. The fences leaning, water heaters coming unhooked, tvs falling over, everything in the garage being dumped on our van, broken glass and dishes, food everywhere....big big mess. Then with that came thousands of aftershocks. Really great for someone terrified of earthquakes. From then on I could no longer sleep in my room. Luckily my sister and I eventually switched rooms but for 6 months or more I would sneak into my parents room after they had fallen asleep. I never wanted to be in that room during another earthquake or aftershock. Then we were ever so blessed to have the Ludlow quake. It was similar to Landers. It's about 180 mi from Simi but when they're 7 or stronger its gonna travel. I was in high school and of course still terrified. I was in 10th grade and remember running out into the hall and running into the walls. It was very long wavelengths and pretty strong still. Once I made it to my parents room I climbed into bed with them and was crying. We watched their fan swing back and forth and turned on the tv to see if any channels were covering the story. I think I ended up sleeping on their floor the rest of the night. Such a baby. So yeah... I'm terrified of earthquakes. UT is a great place to be. Rarely any earthquakes. I don't think I've ever felt one. They're usually small if there ever is one. We don't have many like natural disasters. I think the closest we got was that debatable tornado like 4 or 5 years ago. I guess it never touched down but that a crazy day! Totally separate story I should write about. I don't think I had the blog then. Anyway yeah... I hate earthquakes and if I'm still alive during the Second Coming I will probably die of a heart attack from the ridiculous earthquakes. Hahaha... I'm so over dramatic :)
