a deer encounter

Amanda cracked me up this afternoon,
as she often does,
with one of her funny stories.
Hopefully I can write it so it will give you a laugh too.

This morning she woke at 5:15 am......
wide awake and unable to go back to sleep.
Not startling yet....I get up early too...
ready to get the day started while things are fresh and new.
But here is the startling thing....
She got up at 5:15 am and decided to go run.

She is working in Vacation Bible School this week and
doing swimming lessons with Jake so........
no time for her exercise class at the Y.

Throwing on some clothes,
she headed over to a nearby subdivision and proceeded to run with no abandon.
Of course, she had her ipod going and was in her own little world when,
out of nowhere, a large deer darted out in front of her.

Needless to say she was quite startled and screamed her head off.
She was sure that the deer was going to counter and attack her on the spot.

She started running down the middle of the road with all her might,
not hearing the car that was behind her because of the ipod in her ears.

Poor guy in the car must have thought he had happened upon a lunatic
running madly down the center of the road.

Amanda didn't stop to think that the deer
was running just as fast
in the other direction
to get away from her.

Bubba said no to Houston's in Atlanta tomorrow evening.
No good reason was given.
I will be happy wherever we go .

Please pray for Sandy and Robert.
My heart is breaking after being with them today.
