Well when it rains it poors for the Smileys. Or it is usually in the winter when tons of things go wrong so we'll say when it snows it's a blizzard. You know how sometimes bad things come in threes...They do for Ryan and I sometimes also. So to start things off Ryan's truck needed repairs. We found out one of the tires was about to fall off. Luckily we caught it in time...Second, when the wind starts blowing hard each winter something always goes wrong living in a mobile home. Anyway this weekend it was the furnace pilot light that wouldn't stay light. So Richard, Ryan's dad who's the expert in heating, spent much of the day Sunday at our house replacing parts. So we sorta got it fixed so it stays running...more work to do on it soon though. So this morning when my car and Ryan's truck started we were very happy. I got the kids off to daycares and headed out of town for work. Well I got just north of Denver and here come some deer. I didn't see them coming until they were infront of me so I breaked and ended up hitting the fourth one. Luckily she was little so didn't do a whole lot of damage. After talking to many people on the phone the officer showed up and thought I was good to drive it so I took it to a shop in CF to get fixed sometime. That was the first time I ever hit a deer so I was quite shook up. I am thankful I have my health, I did not get hurt, thank God. My car isn't horribly messed so I'll get it back someday. I'll be using my dad's car for a while now.
One crazy thing was that when I called Ryan to tell him what happened, after he made sure I was ok and we had a plan he asked me to see if someone would help me get the deer into my trunk. He wanted the deer for meat. Who thinks of that, not I, but he does, a true deer hunter. Needless to say I felt funny asking the officer to put the deer in my trunk so we didn't get the deer. By the time Ryan met up with me to get the deer it had been picked up already by cleanup or something.
Also, believe it or not one of the other deer got hit by a vehicle going the other way on the highway. That was a big one that got hit but that vehicle didn't stop. Oh well, no deer meat but I got away in one piece.
That was our last week of happenings.
