COLD WEATHER, DEER, AND A BAPTISM

This weekends weather put a hold on Darren's outdoor list of things that need to be done. He did get the yard mowed yesterday. It is a good think too because it is raining today. He was hoping to get outside and pull out some of the bushes going down our driveway that have been a pain in the butt since we moved onto the property.

A deer ran into the side of Darren's truck on Friday night coming home from work. He said he just happened to look out the drivers window and there was the deer. It hit the truck behind the door under the extended cab window and put three good sized dents in the truck going to the wheel well. Darren was VERY mad when we got home. An adjuster for our insurance company is coming out tomorrow afternoon to look at the truck. Darren thinks that the damage might have totalled out his truck considering the age of the vehicle and the mileage. If they total out the truck, he is thinking of taking the insurance money to pay off the loan and then buy back the truck from the insurance company for about $500. That way his will still have a drivable truck, it will take care of a loan payment, and then when we have the extra money we will take it into a body shop and have it fixed.

Aiden is being baptised today and we plan on going. It's in Devils Lake at St. Joseph's church with a reception at the Great Northern building. However, the girls are sick and Jessie has a cough that is a little barky at times so I am going to see if my mother can watch them. That way we don't have to drag them out in this cold weather and make there running noses and light coughs worse.

Tomorrow summer semester starts. Ugh! I am actually a little excited though. The classes are all going to be easy, except for Surgical Transcription which will take some work, so I don't foresee any problems this semester. I am already almost positive I will pass these classes with great grades. Also, I only have two more semesters after this one and I am DONE if everything goes good...knock-on-wood.
