Deer Run


It's been awhile since I've blogged. But I've been busy....hitting deer and what not. Anyways, this is what happened. Thought I was out for a nice drive to Vermilion at about 6:00. The sun was setting and I just came over a hill, when a deer jumped out from my blind spot right into my car. Now oddly enough, the first thing I thought was, "My gosh..I don't think I've ever really screamed before!" Because the sound that came from my mouth was so foreign. So, I don't know if the deer died, however it did roll a couple times, and leave a lot of itself in my car.

Now, when the deer hit, it managed to push the fender onto my tire so I had some difficulty driving. I pulled over, and (didn't have a phone..) was upset and unsure what to do. When God sent me a couple good samaritans.. THANK YOU!!! Two guys stopped and were able to pull out my fender just enough so I could drive. They also gave me their numbers and said they would call me in 2 hours to make sure I got there alright. God definitely sent me an angel that night, thankfully.

So anyways..I now have to crawl in through the passenger door because the driver side does not open. This has gotten me into a lot of funny moments already. I was in the mall parking lot, and there was a car parked directly infront of me, facing my car....and a man sitting in it. So I then proceeded to unlock the passenger side and get it.. I sat there for a moment, and then jumped the stick shift when the man suddenly got a blank look on his face.. and started to laugh.. So I waved politely and drove away.

Well, I think that is enough on the deer bit for now. (ps..I don't think the pictures do justice to just how much damage there really is.)

Hey Meg,
I'm sad that you hit a deer.. but soo thankful you're alright. It could have been a LOT worse. I also did some damage to my car last week.. if you've never played bumper cars with the real machine's, you're not missing out on a whole lot of excitement.

I also hit a deer just resently and I am still freaked out from the whole thing. I have been online trying to find others who have shared in my experiance. Mine happened around 230 am on a sunday. When out of nowhere this dear collided with me. I can still see her face smashed up against my driver side window. My damage wasn't as bad as yours. All she manage to do was to rip my mirror off. I don't think I had srceamed so hard. between freaking out and crying, I didn't know what to do. It took me about 45 minutes to the nearest gas station to check for damages. You can see her imprint from the dust on the door.
Well, I'm glad that you are alright, because I have been reading and talking to others and never realized that things could have been worse. Some people have died from deer accidents.

God doesn't hate sunfires. He replaced the engine and now it is a new creation. Okay, that was lame.
