So we finally closed on our house last Thursday. We had signed our closing docs on Tuesday, but it took two days to record. We have been packing up our stuff and unpacking our stuff at our new place two miles from my parents where we have been staying the last 8 months. It feels so good to finally be in our own place and to not be living in our small two bedroom condo anymore! Once we get more unpacked and settled, we will take more pics...
The day we moved in we noticed we had a few crickets in our garage. Harmless, but annoying. So out came the bug spray. Ken sprayed an entire bottle around the edges of the garage and out came about 100 more crickets, hopping to their death. Last night Ken went out to get the recycle bin and he comes in asking "hey hun, what does a black widow look like?" I thought, "oh no," then went out to see it hanging upside down in the middle of its web with the red hour glass shape and knew we had our first black widow. So, out came the bug spray and down went the spider. Two minutes later, I hear Ken in our garage chasing a 2 inch cockroach with the spray. Time to spray the whole house/garage. I miss seeing only two spiders in 5 years of living in Alaska. Alaska is all about mosquitos and other little flying bugs... not spiders- which I hate!!!
