Grayson kills his first deer!!!

You know something is "unique" when you come out to find your husband proudly displaying his first deer in his fancy work clothes.

The conversation went something like this ...

Grayson: Well, you probably noticed that I am home later than planned. I have some good news, some okay news and some bad news. Which do you want first?
Ashley: I don't care, you pick.
Grayson: Well ... the good news is that we'll have deer meat to eat for the next few months!
Ashley: I don't think I need to hear the rest... am I getting a new car?

That's right, Grayson killed his first deer, only he used a car instead of a gun. Oh and thankfully someone moved into our old house, forcing us to go back and pick up the remains of items neglected. So luckily, Grayson just happened to have an empty plastic bin for just such an occasion in his trunk.

He was really trying to do a good thing by bringing her home. He was trying to keep his accident from being a total loss by providing food for the next little bit. Unfortunately, we were advised NOT to eat the deer meat due to lots of reasons I won't go into. I'm thankful for that!!!
The Magic Carpet on the other hand, withheld a little damage. I'm not sure if it is fortunate or unfortunate, but colliding with a deer is technically considered "An Act of God" in the insurance world. That translates into making a claim = premiums stay the same. So, no new car for us, just a refreshed Magic Carpet. We hope to get it fixed soon!

Oh and I strongly considered submitting the first photo to the Jackson Independent to make sure Grayson got full recognition for killing his first deer. We all know what a big deal that is around here!
