Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Oh, Deer!

 
Had a little bit of an accident on my way to work the other night. This is what happens when deer meet cars. I was just about to Swan Lake, thinking I am so glad that the deer on the left were up higher that night and not down low by the road. A train was going by on the other side, and just then a deer came out of no where. All I seen was a flying deer.  My biggest fear is that they will come through the window, so glad that didn't happen.
 
 It is amazing what kind of damage that a deer can cause. We are still waiting on the insurance to finish up, but I think they will probably total my car. Both fenders, hood, headlight, frame brackets, radiator, cooling system, just to name a few things. I wish that something could be done to have the deer stay up higher, because so many have been hit between Downey and Preston. We counted 8 just from Downey to Downata.
I kind of had a pick on me day, don't know if any one has them. I do sometimes when I think I have had enough things to deal with. Then I really look at things and remind myself how truly blessed I am. I could have been hurt, but I wasn't. Just a bad case of nerves. My brother-in-law drove up and picked me up and took me to Preston so my sister and me made it to work on time. Then him and my dad took his trailer up and loaded my car on it. ( car overheated cause of all the fluids running out) Doug hurried and left work and made it up when they were loading the car up. So thankful for everything, even when bad things happen. I always called this my grandma car, (Doug loves these cars cause they drive and ride very nice) I think I will miss it, it has been such a good car and had a ton of miles put on it.
