Celebratory Week(end) Fail

To celebrate Dani's arrival (and the birth of our country) we headed out for a night on the town. But the festivities were interrupted by a mysterious alarm coming from the basement. Without knowing the cause (and Chad being absolutely useless), we phoned the Ithaca Fire Department to come check it out.

Turns out, the battery on the alarm was dead. #sorrychad

The firemen proceeded to question why we weren't out on July 3rd....struggle city.

Upon our return to the house, we discovered a HUGE, BULBOUS, PREGNANT (and probably venomous) SPIDER. Not cool, Chad. Not Cool.

This picture does not even come close to conveying the terror we felt when we laid eyes upon its striped body and fatal fangs.

Needless to say, two near death experiences put an end to our night ....
