My morning...

I had to share with you what I saw this morning as I opened the door to let our dogs out...this GIGANTIC spider...AAAHHH!! My first thought was that it was a tarantula, then I was able to gain my composure, a little, and realize it wasn't brown and furry (it was grey and furry, eewww). I don't know what kind of a spider this is, but I do know that it scared the crap out of me. Needless to say, I killed it (sorry Chad)...I was not going to let other spiders know they could get that close to my house and still live, it was a message!!
