We've a had a couple of those mini-earthquakes around here over the past few years, although I don't think ours were more than 3 point something. The 5 point one sounds scary! Even the very little ones are jarring. Both times we've had those I was woken up in the middle of the night, wondering what the hell was going on! Anyway, I'm glad the ones you had there didn't do hurt anyone.

Re: Job search. I hope all goes well for you guys and you find good jobs soon. That's cool that you are going to try doing a website! I actually just ordered a bunch of books from the library on designing your own website, because I want to make one for our small business. I'm excited about doing that. It should be fun, and hopefully it will help the business, too. Good luck with yours! :-)

Re: Christmas Day. I think eating cakes and watching movies on sounds pretty great! I hope you all have a wonderful time. ♥
