baby steps

I hate snakes!! in fact they are the thing I am most afraid of, and have been for as long as I can remember. even the smallest water snake can make me take off running, screaming, in the opposite direction! However, two weeks ago I did something huge.... I held a snake for the first time in my life! let's just say it was a total different experience then what I thought it would be like and they are quite the slimy creatures I thought they were, the texture was even worse!

Gross!

needless to say I won't be doing that again anytime soon, however it was a small step towards one day getting over my snake paranoia : )
