We do live in the desert, after all...

Several nights ago I was closing the door out to the garage and caught a glimpse of some movement near the refrigerator. A quick look showed a pale, hairy crawling something! I quick rushed to tell Collin and got a flashlight. We hurried back out and tucked in the narrow, dark space between the wall and the refrigerator was a camel spider about the size of my palm!! Ugh!!! Shudder and double shudder!! I am normally not phased by spiders. However, this one was big and pale and hairy and it was moving quickly and it was in our garage! At the time we didn't know it was a camel spider and we just let it go... I know, I know. We should've gotten it then. Collin found out the next day or so what it was.
Well, tonight Collin and boys were hanging out in the front yard w/ neighbors and Aiden found a black widow spider behind the planter on the front porch...next to the front door. Not so big, probably a quarter diameter in size. But right near the front door. So... that bug man who came by a few weeks ago and who Collin turned away saying " but Aiden loves to find all the bugs around the house!"... yeah, he's gonna have to go ahead and come back!
