I don't give spiders enough credit! I use to view spiders as household pests. Every time I would see a spider in the house I would wrap it in a tissue and quickly put it outside with a stern warning. I never realized just how helpful those creatures could be. It wasn't until weeks ago that I started to realize that I was seeing a lot less mosquitoes due to the growing spider population in my balcony. It wasn't until my wife (Candice-Sensei) said "I think the spiders are eating the mosquitoes!" that I saw the error of my ways! Now whenever I see a spider getting too close to my hanging laundry I gently shoo them away. If one is in the house it can stay there a bit longer. Just as long as it is not a poisonous one! Hahaha! Spiders are my allies not my foe! Now mosquitoes... mosquitoes are the real villains! Hahaha!
  

Last month, I had to keep a secret! It was only for a week, but it was exciting. Cami asked our friends and I if we could go to the beach and surprise Michael for his birthday.

I made the mistake of having dinner and breakfast with Michael and Cami that weekend. Michael even invited me to the beach a few times! It was hard to lie to his face and pretend that I was busy. He was going by bike, which actually wasn't something I wanted to do.

After breakfast, all of us jumped into cars and drove to Chichibugahama beach. We all arrived at the same time, and it was so great! Michael was very surprised and we had a great time. Some of us went swimming and we all ate shaved ice and homemade cake.

I'm so glad I was able to keep a secret!
