Oh Deer!

Two weeks ago I was driving home from Ogden after enjoying a nice evening with my girlfriends. I was close to home, on Redwood Road in Woodscross, when a deer ran into me. Yes, a deer. Yes, it ran into me. I was driving around 50 mph when all of a sudden, I see its face right in front of mine. Before I knew it, it was all over. The deer was behind me and I was screaming driving down the road. I pulled over, called Marc and he immediately came to see me.

I called the police and they were there in no time. Must have been a slow night. Since I drove a few feet after I hit it, I didn't see the deer on the road, thank goodness. The police had to shoot it, twice, which was so traumatic. Many of you know, I'm a huge animal lover and was so upset that I killed it.

The police told me it was a 4 point buck with a huge spread on top and that I was very lucky it didn't go through my windshield. I can't even imagine what could have happened to me if it did.

The corolla was totaled and I had to start looking into buying a car. Luckily I had full coverage on my insurance and would get money back from the car. I have been so lucky to always get my mom's hand me downs when it comes to cars, so I never had to make a car payment!

So after a week of dealing with awful car dealers, I ended up with a mazda3 hatchback. I LOVE it! I was able to get a good deal and I don't have to make a payment for 90 days, so that is helpful!

I still can't drive down that road and I have a hard time driving at night. I am so paranoid now! This was such a scary experience, I hope I never encounter a deer on the road again!
