A week at home, and a deer

Last Tuesday Wade and I made the trip to Abilene with Mike to visit Grammy and Poppy! He had a meeting there so mom met him and Wade and I stayed the week! I needed to get some of my online classes done and it was just nice to visit them without cramming everything into a weekend! We got the lights on their house, shopped around Abilene, and just lounged around and watched Christmas movies and went to the Nutcracker (a tradition the Lundgren girls have)!! It was so wonderful!! However, we we're so excited to see Mr. Wright Sunday when he came to pick us up!
Poppy and Wade are getting sleepy!

Grammy and Poppy lovin on their boy!

We didn't get our things together until after dark on Sunday and Mr, Wright was tempted to stay but in the end decided to go ahead and get on the road. So about 9 when pulled out of the driveway. Mr. Wright had partaken in one or two adult drinks with Poppy so I needed to drive! I was fine with that as we make the trip monthly and I could probably drive it with my eyes closed! However, it is SOO dangerous this time of year with all the animals out at night, especially deer! Grammy had mentioned to me before we drove off to pay close attention to them and not to drive too fast! So about a 5 miles out of town everything is going good but I was approaching a car and had to dim my lights, due to the matter i failed to see a bug eight point buck coming from the bar-ditch until he was at the shoulder of the road and he ran right into my new car, or I ran into him shall i say! Thankfully, the Lord was watching over us and we were not hurt!! I just cried because it hit the front passenger side of the car which was Wade's side! I don't want to even think about how bad it could have been! Other than a HUGE dint in the door and a broken head light everything else was fine! Dang deer know how to do some damage though! $2000 bucks and a new door later my car will look new again!! Needless to say we will be leaving to and from Stamford EARLY on Thanksgiving!! Happy Holidays to all!!
