Luckily, we did not get the little red Camry Hybrid we were looking at last month...
I'm afraid we would not have fared so well in a car. This unfortunate incident happened Sunday night on our way out of Preston. I figured it was only a matter of time, we have had so many close calls with wildlife on that stretch of dark highway between Preston and Downey. The only injury (besides to my sexy truck) was to the taco salad on my lap, which ended up mangled under the dashboard. Dustin is an amazing driver, and saw the deer pretty far in advance, and we were slowed way down, but it jumped in front of us at the last second. We were all a little worked up afterwards, but otherwise fine. McKenna (4 year old niece coming to stay the week in Rexburg) was a little panicked when we mentioned calling the cops, apparently she has been sufficiently frightened of being "taken away..." She is so adorable, we needed a little humor at that point. It's still drivable, good thing, since the body shop can't fit us in till next week...Pretty Boy is kind of embarrassed at being seen like this, but I've assured him it is a badge of honor.
Thank heavens for big ole gaz guzzlers, am I right??? And full coverage auto insurance, that rocks too.
So I should stop threatening Liv that I'll call the cops on her. Shooot that one was working good. Kenna is so hilarious. She understands way more than she should.
ReplyDeleteSorry bout the taco salad. Bummer, Hope you went back for another.
Sometimes it's good to have a gas guzzler. I have one that I am lately wishing I didn't, but you just gave me a reason to be glad!
