We Are Truly Blessed

It is exactly 5 days before our wedding and we are very excited!! The last six months have felt like forever but I'm glad we are so close now! I just wanted to take a minute to realize how blessed Braxton and I have been lately. Sunday evening we were sick of sitting in the apartment so we decided to take a drive. We drove a few places then we headed up the dry farms just to check out whats going. Braxton always loves driving my car around different farm because no one knows who he is. :) Anyway we were heading home and heading down Poline Road, I could see a few deers off the side of the road but didn't think much about them. I had to yell at Braxton to let him know what I saw but I just couldn't get the words out fast enough and before I knew it the deer was heading out into the road. Braxton saw it out he corner of his eye but it was too. The deer didn't know which was to go and then BAM we hit it. Braxton handle it like a champ. He stayed calm and relaxed. All that was going through my mind was the deer coming the window shield. Once we stopped, we both jumped out of the car to see what the damage was.Luckily the deer was little and just hit the drivers side of the car. It tore of the side mirror.The poor deer didn't look so good but it wasn't dead( that we knew of it). This was the first either one of us at hit a deer before.I know that we are very blessed being a week from our wedding and being a car that is very small. I know that it could have ended a thousand times worse then what it really was. Someone was watching out for us I know that for a fact. We are both fine without no injuries. The car on the other hand is a little hurt but will be getting fixed next week.
 We both decided that wouldn't be going any Sunday drives for a little while.

 Through out this whole engagement we have blessed beyond measure. I would like to tell everyone who has supported us and helped us these past 6 months. Our parents have been the biggest help, from dress fitting, lucheon planning to the last minute details the week of the wedding. You guys are so loved more then you ever know. I have loved every minute of planning with my mom. She is the greatest mother anymore could ever ask for and I'm lucky she is mine!!  I have enjoyed the little mother/daughter moments we have. They are ones that I will never forget.  I'm sad to be  moving out of the house that I grew up and seeing my family everyday but I can't wait to have a family of my own that I have these moments with my daughter someday. Thanks everyone else who has helped where you could and being so willing to help even if we didn't ask. It the letters,cards, texts and hugs that have helped us. We love you all and can't wait to share our special day with all of you.!!
 Its funny how easily we forget how blessed we are in our lives.
