The weekend was crazy. I put in 17 hours of catering two weddings. On Friday night I was driving home in the van and got rear ended. The first wreck I have been in in probably more than 10 years. It was low impact. We were both stopped at a stop sign and I pulled forward a little. The guy behind me thought I had taken off. He was really cool about it but I felt bad for him because of his wife. She came across as the type that would not let him forget this and bring it back up for weeks on end. I got a quote yesterday, $1035 to replace the back bumper. Fortunately it is all cosmetic, no other damage. The other insurance (State Farm) has already called me and approved the repairs, offered to pay for rental if needed, etc.

Then on Saturday evening, I was headed home again from working and came about 6 inches from taking out a dear. All I could do was thank God that it changed it's course, cause that time I was in the little Toyota and not the van.

Sunday we celebrated JB's birthday. Just the family with cake and ice cream. He loved the cake and insisted on eating the ice cream with his hands.

I finished off the weekend watching Soul Surfer. A great, inspirational movie! I have never really had a person I consistently played tennis with but the one guy I played with the most, died over the winter. So I took the opportunity to approach an older man I saw playing recently. We got together this morning and I think it is a pretty good match up. Hopefully we can get out 2 or 3 times a week. Felt great to play again.
