As most of you knew before I did, there was an earthquake in Haiti last night. Everyone here is just fine, most of the adults at the o didn't feel anything, and the kids never knew it happened. It was strongest in the southern part of the city, and Pierre said many people near his church spent the night outside because they were afraid.
I went to bed at about 9:30, and very quickly fell asleep. Suddenly, I bolted up out of the bed because it was shaking. I didn't know why, because by that time it had stopped. I couldn't get my bearings, that weird 'I've only been sleeping for 20 minutes' feeling. I checked on Jean Marc, and went to the window, because I couldn't figure out why I felt so weird. There were people out by the pool having a party. I thought, 'if it had been an earthquake, they'd be freaking out.' So I went back to bed. I didn't have internet at home this morning, and since I stayed home with a snotty baby, I had no idea about all the emails coming my way. I even talked to my mom and sister on the phone, and they didn't say anything. Then a friend from Tennessee called to see if we were all ok. Then I started putting pieces together, and I called Pierre. He said the prayer group at the o didn't feel it last night, but then one person said they did, and so they turned on the radio and listened to reports.
I'm going to quickly answer the emails since not everyone reads this.
Thanks for your prayers.
