A deer and $2000

Sheena was hit by a deer driving the van this past saturday (yes all 3 girls that were in the van are OK), not just any van but the van we are taking on vacation. We leave THIS friday, the shop we are bringing it to says they'll be done with it by 3 on Friday, say a prayer (for them if its not done!)

duct tape to hold the mirror on, yes that's deer hair on the handle, the front fender, drivers door and sliding door all need to be replaced...
