Andrew ate a spider!

So we went shopping on Saturday for our monthly restock of food, we usually travel all the way to Idaho Falls to shop at Winco since it's cheaper food. We then came home to put all our food away and see some friends. When we got back, Andrew grabbed a whole nest of grapes to eat for a snack. Then he spits it out thinking he had a leaf along with the grapes. But he finds out its too pointy to be a leaf, but a spider! So we freaked out.

I decide to wash the grapes and I found a web which was made in the grapes! So it's not like the spider just jumped in there, it had a home in the grapes!!!!!! Then I looked online what kind of spiders hang out in grapes. Apparently, California in an attempt to go more green they have been including spiders as pesticides to eat the little critters that like grapes. Well, those spiders attract larger spiders that feed on them, such as black widows.....creepy!!!!!!!

I then decided to look into the symptoms of a black widow spider's bite. Usually, spider bites swell or are itchy maybe with some pain or numbness, which Andrew was experiencing on his tongue and roof of his mouth. The more severe ones would cause muscle cramps and such. Fortunately, Andrew is a healthy adult so he survived!!! YEAH!!!! However, we are way paranoid, still like grapes, but way paranoid. We also lost some sleep because of staying up for an extra hour to make sure he didn't show any of the more extreme symptoms.

The moral of this story is, WASH YOUR GRAPES!!!!!!

The Incredible Seagraves live to face another catastrophe.

Fun Weekend at Park City

It was crazy awesome!

It was fun going down with our friends. We did a lot of shopping or really, looking around and seeing what we would love to buy if we ever had the money.

We traveled down on Friday at about 6pm and arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's place around 10. Our friends really like the Park City home. We can’t disagree. It’s wonderful and holds so many fond memories for us. I’m glad we have the option of staying there every time we go down.

Saturday I went to my hair-removal appointment at Ideal Image in West Jordan, UT. They have a laser system which can remove all sorts of unwanted dark hair. They use it to zap at your hair targeting the roots of your hair. You have to go there several times because new roots replace the old, but this cycle only happens so many times. You have the option of using numbing cream for this procedure and I just dealt without it. The sensation you get from the zapping machine is a burning one which doesn't leave a physical burn after you're done with the process. They repeat this until the whole area is treated. It's not too bad, and the whole ordeal gets better after they put aloe where they did the zapping. I’m a little red for about 30 minutes after my appointment and then I’m all good. I thought I would write this out in case anyone else ever thought of wanting to do this. You can always go in to consult with them and see what they have to say. I’m glad I am not going to have to worry about those unwanted hairs anymore.

So after the appointment we walked around a local mall and I bought some Chinese stress balls, I'm not sure what they are called but they are two balls which are decorated with have bells in them that as you rotate them in your hand will jingle. They’re terrific for those stressful moments.

Later on, we went to the Cheesecake Factory. Our friend, Russell, wanted to go there because he loves their cheesecakes and it also served as a sort of birthday present to himself. Andrew and I shared a slice of cookie-dough cheesecake and it was amazing!!!!! We did more paroozing at the Park City mall after we got back. I was looking all day for a cute top, but never felt satisfied. Then as we were looking for our friends, my purse’s shoulder strap broke!!! A button broke off earlier which was a sign it was falling apart. Luckily we knew of a place we had been to earlier which had new, cuter, and sturdier purses! Now I have a purse that will go with any color except all black, but that’s not my style so I think I’ll be fine. So instead of a new shirt I have a new purse and love it! It doesn't have much space for stuffing my things in, but it works.

Sunday we went to the visitors ward at the Stake Center in Park City and enjoyed sacrament. We then went home for lunch and some down time and later on went to town to walk around the tourist section along Main Street. Amanda said it was a cute set-up and we all enjoyed being there. Andrew and I stop by this photo gallery every time we are there. This guy just takes pictures of nature and doesn’t do anything to the film. His photos are amazing, beautiful, and stunning! Some of his pictures can also be comical, too. I think some of his work would look great in the Park City house. He goes all over the world to take these pictures. Heck, he even takes photographs in Idaho! The great thing is that he's a biologist and doesn’t have as much of a photographic background as other nature photographers, but he does such an amazing job!

All in all it was a great trip! You know, you never seem to get the amount of sleep you hope for when you are supposed to be taking it easy because you want to do so much and sleep just gets in the way.
