While we were thanking all the people who have made sacrifices for our freedoms, we remembered it was our sisters birthday. She was celebrating with family in another state at the Cheesecake Factory. My youngest brother had just called my oldest sister to wish her a Happy Birthday, when as we ate our BBQ we felt a huge shutter. It felt and sounded like someone had slammed into our house going 60 miles an hour. It lifted us up like a wave and then settled us back down. We went out side to see what had happened and met other neighbors looking for answers. A call into the local news stations confirmed we were not crazy that something had just happened. I called my friends parents who live a few miles east of us and they had not felt anything. I was happy to see the report in the morning news that it was a 2.3 earthquake. It is nothing to get all worked up over because we have these almost daily in Utah it is just that they generally don't happen under heavily populated areas. My whole life I have been waiting for the big earthquake that we are due for from the Wasatch Fault. I grew up having earthquake drills and getting under my desk in school. I used to wonder what would happen if the earth opened up under my desk. I also believe there is an increase of all kinds of earthly activities that are assuring me that Jesus Christ will once again return to earth. It may not be for 200 years- I hope
it is sooner than later. I love life but I would love to see an end to suffering and be with all the wonderful dead people again. Most people I talk to about the increase in earthquakes, floods, and pestilence's write it off to better equipment for tracking such things. One of the things I love about America is "to each his own". Thank you for any sacrifice you may have made or are now making for my freedom. Think of someone you know serving our country and do something nice for their family left back home:)

Thanks for the Birthday wishes. You guys are always so good to remember me on my "special day". Glad it was just a mini earthquake and you didn't fall into the center of the earth. I tried something new at the Cheesecake Factory. Chicken Pesto pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. It was to die for yummy.
I'm happy you had a great time. I wish I could have been there. We don't have Cheesecake Factory here in Utah. I remember one year you were at Houstons. You are an awesome chef yourself. I used to love to stay with you and eat your cooking. You should record yourself cooking somethign for flavorahre. We LOVE ya!!!
