Okay, well I want to start off by saying I absolutely hate spiders (when i say hate I really mean loath and am deathly afraid of them) .
Well with that little fact about me out in the open i will tell you all about my two incidence's with spiders this last week. So last Thursday I was sitting at home doing some cleaning and I was just walking back into the front room after making my bed, and out of the corner of my eye I see this gigantic spider. (So gigantic to me probably isn't the same for people not deathly afraid of spiders, but it was really big) So i freaked out, i don't know why they creep me out so bad they just do. But the funny part of this story is the way I freaked out. I mean it was just sitting on the arm or our love seat and I was jumping up and down around the house hyperventilating and not knowing what to do. I was so terrified that it was going to jump up at me if i tried killing it and then eat me to death or something so I found the biggest shoe i could find without having to leave the room for fear that the spider would be gone by time i got back. The only shoe that I found that would work was John's church shoes so I grabbed one and walked over to the love seat and moved all the cushions , and of course the spider moved and i freaked out again. but I manned up and started swinging the shoe at him. I wasn't sure if i got him or not I may have closed my eyes but i just kept swinging until i felt it was dead. And it got stuck to the bottom of the shoe so I just threw the whole thing towards the front door. and didn't go over there at all. So I was still freaking out and my heart was beating so hard that I had to just sit down and take a breather. The best part about this story is not that I was able to kill the spider it is how wonderful my husband is. When I told him about it he laughed because after the fact the way i acted was pretty funny but when he got off of work he came home and turned the couches inside out trying to get the rest of the spiders out!! He was great. I sure am lucky!
Okay so now for the good story. So, last night we were laying in bed reading and I had finished the chapter I was reading so I decided to go get our blanket out of the dryer and as I was opening the door, I saw movement on the ground, and wouldn't you know, there was another one of those spiders on the floor. So of course I freak. I scream and run back to the bed. John freaks because he thought that someone had broken in or something. and was like kinda frustrated that I screamed because he got all freaked out. But I was still freaking out because there was a giant spider on the floor and I didn't know what to do. So he got up to take a look at it. oh but wait he didn't kill it he decided that he wanted to get a better look at it so he put it in a cup and examined it. then he said he wanted to look at it some more tomorrow so he put it i a Tupperware container and was gonna leave it on the counter. I vetoed that one real quick so he put it on the back porch. But after that I was still freaked out and just couldn't calm down for some reason. So I just laid in bed while John held me and finished his chapter. When he was done I still was kinda freaked out so we just laid there with John holding me and trying to calm me down. Now that I think about it. I am super lucky to have a husband who is so strong and not scared of spiders to take care of me and to hold me when I am freaking out. I don't know how I got so lucky but I sure do love it and thank Heavenly Father for it everyday!!!
So that is my spider experience that i really hope never happens again.
Well the rest of our life is going great!!! We are finally getting settled into our little house and figuring out how this married thing works. We are enjoying our new ward, there are a lot of nice and friendly people in it!! Our nephew Conner King Warr got blessed this last Sunday and John's dad got put into a Bishopric out in Provo. So life is busy but really amazing. I am learning to sew. I sewed my first button on last week and it worked. It may not have looked so pretty on the back side but i know that it is not going to be coming off anytime soon. I am also doing a lot of cooking, which I love to do so that is nice. We have tried a ton of different recipes and we are finding ones that we like and ones that we probably wont every use again. So all in all life is amazing. I love my little family!!!!
