I am hardcore or maybe I'm just a weenie

So it has been awhile since we have put anything up on our blog, well actually I have never posted anything it has been all Mandi. I just wanted to tell everyone that today I felt hardcore. We had a customer call us to take care of a cockroach infestation and spray their crawl space for bugs. This was a more difficult job, so I met one of my techs at the house to make sure everything went well. When I got there everything was going well until I looked in the crawl space. It was an old home with about a 3 ft. high crawl space and it was crawling with spiders! I am not talking about a few, but hundreds. I have been in many crawl spaces spraying for pests, but nothing like this. There were webs, nests, and egg sacs everywhere. To make the situation worse, we were trying out a new chemical we have never used before to get rid of the cockroaches. I sprayed the first web I saw and the spider went running out like it was on fire. I thought about being down in the crawl space and all the hundreds of spiders being sprayed and coming out everywhere. I wanted to chicken out and make my tech crawl down in, but I manned up, took a deep breath and crawled down in. It was intense. My heart was racing pretty fast and I won't lie, I was a little scared. Long story short it made my day very exciting and it felt good when it was done.

KEVIN!!!!! You did NOT! But you DID and to me you are 100% AWESOME! I can not believe the hardcore sacrifices you are making for your company. Wow, to say that I am impressed is such an understatement! Who would have ever thought that arachniphobia would ever conquer this!

Kevin- I know I've only met you once, but I think the fact that you willingly crawled into a small area with hundreds of spiders is both unfathomable and amazing! I won't come within ten feet of a spider. Snakes and lizards are fine but not spiders! Anyway, I blog hopped over from meg and ben's blog and I'm adding you to my list! Amanda, How are you pregnant woman? I miss ya and hope all is well!
