About a month ago my hubby and I decided to tour South America's Amazon during our honeymoon. We spent 5 days living with a tribe getting to know them and their way of life; it was probably one of our most unforgettable travel experiences yet.
Well, as it turns out, one of the tribes inhabitants apparently couldn't part with us when the time came, so into our backpack he went and took a trip back to the mainland and into the U.S. Now he was a full-fledged illegal alien who would spend an entire month hiding in our home only to make an appearance last night. LATE last night. An unpleasant appearance, might I dare to add. As my hubby stumbled through our dining room he kicked over what seemed like a plastic object, maybe a toy left behind from his toddler-nephew who had been over earlier; but then it moved. That's when we realized what it really was and went into full-panick mode. We won't tell you the fate of the creature, as we really feel bad ourselves, but really, what do you do when you find a spider 2" wide in your home where you only find a daddy-long legs once in a blue moon??? I wasn't sure if it would bite, jump, chase, or shoot. Yes, shoot. Haha! I'm no entomologist let alone an arachnologist. So the sky is the limit on what those guys can do to you as far as I'm concerned!
Anywho, enjoy his photo; it's a bit blurry because I snipped it from a video I took of my hubby hunting the alien.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and deciding to stay for a while! My oldest son is deathly afraid of spiders...it's kind of funny, really. He's 6'6" and over 300 lbs!
