This Week {and a Giveaway Winner} : :

This week we are all feeling very thankful for each other, having a beautiful house to gather at while we celebrate the holiday, and are enjoying every second of having our backyard be a beach!

It's helping us forget this! Which was awful, I'm not going to lie. We have never been in an accident since having the kids. We were on an 8 lane right outside Fredrick Maryland, on the very far right lane of the road, so we weren't even watching for deer anymore. A huge buck crossed all the lanes to left of us and a median in the road, and just rammed into the front left side of our car at an amazing speed, and then it's body swung around and hit the driver's side door, crushing it inward towards my husband. We were hit so hard, our car was knocked into the shoulder of the road! It could have been so much worse, we know. But it was still pretty scary! This is what are car looks like after being pounded out a bit and having all the hanging broken pieces removed. I am so thankful we are all safe!!

:(

    Thankfully everyone is okay! my only accident since kids was a deer crossing too, terrifying! but ours wasn't on an 8 lane, but a side street, it must have been so scary with all of the other cars around!

    I am glad everyone is ok, nothing like an accident during a holiday. My sister has a place on the outer banks, wish I had the time to be able to go down there for the holiday.

    I'm glad you are ok. Pretty scary for you all. When growing up our car was hit by a kangaroo, not a nice experience at all. I hope you never encounter a deer like this again. Jacinta

    That is frightening. My cousin did the same thing this week, but it totaled their car. All were safe. Thank goodness.

    Enjoy your Thanksgiving and the beach.

    It's mind boggling how much damage a deer can do. At least everyone is okay and you get to play on the beach!
