Mathis Family vs Deer

Well, we had an eventful and interesting weekend! 
 
We started out by taking Kem and Ray and Kevin and Melisa Baker to Patti's for dinner on Friday night.  Kevin and Melisa have worked hours at our house these past couple of months.  They painted our bedroom and bath, the half bath, the upstairs bath, and one of the upstairs bedrooms.  They have been awesome!!  They are definitely two of the most selfless people I have met.  They wouldn't accept any money and then almost refused to go, but we finally convinced them that they had to come to dinner and let us pay for it!  Of course Ray has helped us with all of the floors and base, and Kem has been on the cleaning crew, so buying every one's dinner was the least that we could do!  We had a fun night out spending time with everyone away from the house!
 
 
Saturday the weather was beautiful!  We got out of the house and went to watch Grant's little cousin, Walker, play basketball, and then went to Gabbi's game to watch her.  Afterwards, we went back home, sat on the back patio, got some sun, and cleaned off some things that were in the garage and brought them into the spare bedroom.  After cutting all of the tile and the boards in the garage, where all of our furniture was, everything is covered in dust!!  It took three-four cleans before they were presentable enough to even make it into the house.  They will probably all need another clean before they get placed in their final spot!  We cleaned enough and organized the garage enough that I am now able to get my car in.  Yay!
 
Saturday night we went and hung out at the Parker's house for a while.  We ordered pizza and just sat around and talked for most of the night.  Fun times!  We left their house around 10:45 to head home.  We got off at our exit and we were about 5-6 miles from our house.  I was not paying attention and was playing on my phone when I heard this loud boom!  I panicked thanking that someone had come over the center lane and side swiped us, but it was a deer!  The thing came out of nowhere and literally tore our front up to pieces!  We pulled over to assess the damage and were able to make it back home and get it the driveway.  The next morning when we went out you could see deer hair stuck everywhere - yuck!  With Grant and I's luck we weren't really that shocked, just one more thing to add to the to-do list this week!
 

 
Grant was hoping it would total our car and we could get a new one!
 

We saw the deer laying in someones yard on the side of the road on the way to church the next morning.  Dumb Deer!!
 
Sunday night our church hosted a youth service for area youth groups.  It was an awesome night of praise and worship.

Besides the car getting beamed by a wild animal, we had a great weekend!  Lots of time with friends and family, pretty weather, and getting some things done around the house makes for a pretty great couple of days!
