We were notified yesterday that our apartment has been condemned. They say they is a good chance it will fall on its own and if not they will knock it down. Mark and I are completely in disbelief and very lucky. How can a new building built in an earthquake zone not be made to withstand an earthquake? Part of the reason we chose it was because it was a newer building. We are lucky that it was only a temporary apartment and we didn't lose more and especially that it didn't come down with us inside but we did take a lose. We had a few sentimental items in there. Our passports with the places we have been, my nice clothes from my showers and rehearsal, a quilt I've been working on for a while and was three squares away from finishing, fabric I have been selecting to make quilts for family and friends, Marks journal. But we also had some boat parts that will now have to go back to square one to get and some of our safety equipment for the boat like our SAT phone and back-up GPS along with Wifi antennas and other electronics. We also lost our bikes, games, camping equipment. We keep trying to put it in perspective, and we know that we are extremely lucky and lost little in comparison to many but it is still difficult. We thank our friends and family for the support they have given us and continue to ask for your prayers and we sort through what we need to do next and how best to move on.
