I sure did!!! I was laying on the couch watching "The Fighting Temptations" :P Mark and Marleigh were over at the apartment office visiting with the manager (Marleigh likes her). I could feel myself start shaking. I was just trying to figure out if I was having a medical issue then the back of the couch started bumping against my back. I have a chime that hangs on our ac return door and I heard it. When I looked at it it was swinging back and forth. At this point, medical issue or not, I jumped up off the couch and stood in the middle of the living room (getting under a table or doorway did not come to mind). I didn't feel anything else and I didn't see anybody running around outside. I thought, by odd chance, that maybe some outdoorsy animal had made it's way into our apartment so I looked behind the couch and shook the ends of the couch and found nothing (which is a good thing :P ) I went over to the office and when I walked in the manager had a strange look on her face. Mark asked me if I came running over to see if they felt it too :) Of course I did, I wanted to know if I was going crazy or not lol!! There wasn't any sirens going off in town so Mark was thinking that it might have been an explosion at the arsenal. Jan's phone started ringing off the hook about the same thing. A few minutes later the news broke in with all the details, or what details they had at the time. For anyone who hasn't heard yet, it was a 5.9 earthquake halfway between Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. Since I have never experienced this before I wasn't sure if that's what it was at first. Now that I know, my knees are aching and won't stop LOL. I can tell you that I didn't like the way it felt. I guess the whole issue that I was completely not in control of anything at that moment :) but I know God was and still is. I had my interview this morning and the Lt. Col. told me that I did good. He said not to be discouraged if I didn't hear anything for several days because that's usually how long it takes and he doesn't know yet how quickly they want to fill the position. With that being said, please continue to pray for me in this situation. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful day. I going to go pray that we don't have any aftershocks!!!! Love to all :)
