Deer

We live smack in the middle of "Deer Hunting Paradise". I think my husband is the only man in the county without a hunting license. I even know that bow season starts today! I bet neither of my sisters knows that!

Tuesday, we traveled to Ada for my OB check-up. The baby is still growing and doing great. After eating some beans and cornbread with my parents, we started the boring drive home. Since Tucker had spent the afternoon at Pa's office, he hadn't napped. He didn't even make it to the highway before he was OUT!

I was enjoying my peaceful, quiet ride home when out of nowhere a deer slams into my car bouncing off and slamming into my driver's side door. I screamed and pulled over on the shoulder where my shaking hands called Matt and my parents. I looked back to check on Tucker to find that he had slept through the whole ordeal! Then much to my disbelief, I saw the deer trot off the road. Tough animal!

I was almost to Atwood, OK so I continued on into town to look for a safe place to park until my parents and Matt could get to us. My choices were a gas station that was closed or the post office. I chose the post office where Tuck continued to snooze until my parents arrived.

So we're down to one vehicle while my car gets fixed. It had some damage of the front end and to the driver's side door. Thankfully, we're all safe and sound and driving around in daddy's Titan. I dare a deer to run out if front of me in that beast!
