Week 34

There is no doubt that the angels are on our side!  This baby has brought so much joy, happiness and luck to us and he/she hasn't even arrived yet!  There has been so many instances of good luck coming our way in the past nine months (which has been so refreshing considering the last several years), and this week was no different.  While driving downtown to meet Jeff to celebrate a friend's retirement, I happen to be driving during rush hour on a fairly busy highway.  I was in the middle lane and saw a deer coming from my right.  The car next to me startled it and hit it.  The deer flew in the air and hit the car on my left, and then flew into my car.  It was like I was in slow motion.  Luckily, I was as calm as possible and chose to drive forward hitting the deer.  When I finally was able to get over on the side, I was a little shaken, but handled it the best I could.  The deer smashed my front in.  When I got home that night and had time to reflect, the only feelings I had were thankfulness.  So many horrible things could have happened in that situation.  I could have hit another car, the car behind me could have smashed into me, the deer could have went through my windshield....but none of that happened. I am so appreciative, and this was just another reminder that it is so important to count your blessings!
