she screamed one of those blood curdling i think i'm dying screams and yelled that there was a tarantula in our house. the hair on my arms went up right away, and of course.....dust was off night snorkeling, so we were on our own.
he was freakin HUGE! long story short, i killed him. i did it, yes me. of course, it took me 25 mins of freaking out with kait and discussing all of the killing options. it may have included a little mini i know i'm an idiot prayer and lots of pep talking, and i may have yelled at kait to stop freaking out so that i could try to calm myself down enough to figure out what to do. but i did it. i may have left it there for dust to clean up, but i did it.
this was definitely the biggest spider i've ever seen, and i got him good with my electric fly swatter. it was a life-altering and traumatizing night, and i'm officially scarred for life, and i know i sound like a complete fool but seriously........i don't understand why spiders this big have to exist, especially right outside my house! EWWW!!!!!!
ps - thanks to kait for being here with me even though she was a total freak show! haha love you k :)

OH. MY. GOSH!!!! That is disgusting!! After seeing the first picture of it I was gonna say you should have taken a picture of it next to something so we could really see it's size. Then I scrolled down. I think that puppy was close to the same size as the backpack!! YUCK! You are my hero!!
ok, that just made me barf. but honestly with how cold i am right now, i just might take that spideover this. i just looked through all your christmas posts, (i don't know what i have been doing, but i haven't checked blogs for a while) and how much fun did you have! i'm sure it was super hard being away from family, but you made the best of it for sure. i still love your tree so much. love your cute little happy family!
