Oh dear, oh deer, oh dear, oh deer....

This was our pretty new car a few months ago...

This is the same car last night...

after hitting a deer...

luckily it was a small deer...

So we are in the middle of northern Missourri and since the deer attacked us on a holiday weekend and everyone is closed, we will be here for a while.  Any suggestions on what to do on New Years in the middle of nowhere Missourri?? 

On the bright side, the nice state trooper that stopped to help us said we could keep the deer if we wanted it.  Unfortunately the hotel in the small town we are in didn't have a big enough freezer.  If anyone wants some fresh deer meat, it's on the side of highway 36...

We are also very thankful that we were both unhurt, and for the nice couple that stopped to make sure we were alright and called the state trooper for us, also for the tow truck driver who we woke up in the middle of the night and who still took us to a hotel and helped us unload all of our junk from our car!
