Watch out for that deer...

My husband was in a car wreck with a deer this weekend. Luckily no one was hurt except for the deer. He was traveling down a dark highway headed home, when a deer ran out from nowhere. He slammed on his breaks, but not in time. He hit the rear end of the deer going at least 65 miles per hour. It took out our grill plate, our right head light, and caused a leak in our radiator. So now our only "real" mode of transportation is sitting in the driveway, undriveable. We have an old truck that has a transmission fluid leak, and is "driveable", but not dependable.

The insurance is supposed to contact us on Monday and tell us what we need to do, but all bets are off that we're going to have a dependable vehicle before Thanksgiving. The bad news here is that my due date is only 2 weeks away, and we probably won't have a car within that time. The good news is that my parents live 2 blocks down the road and are available to drive me to the hospital if the time arrives.

I'm a little down  because I was intent on doing the bulk of my Christmas shopping either yesterday or on Monday, before baby's arrival, but that is not to happen I guess. I'll just continue on working on my homemade gifts for now and will have to do the rest of my shopping over the next several weeks.

I'm praising the Lord, however for my husband's safety. If he would have hit it any sooner, or any faster, it would have come up on the windshield, and if he would've swerved, which would've been my reaction, he would have hit oncoming traffic, and he and someone else could've been severely hurt.

Blessings, sara
