RIP minivan

So we love our minivan. I searched for 2 months for the right can at the right price. I test drove it and bought the van on my own while Daniel was in Brazil. When he came home, he sat in it one time and declared that he loved it too! It was the first car we've owned that fits all 6 feet 3 inches of Daniel.
We had finished 7.75 hours in the car with our children when "the accident" happened. The kids were finally content, and Daniel and I were chatting about how common our van type was. Daniel started to talk about how nice it drives and how he's not uncomfortable at all when a deer started to sprint across the street from our left side. I gasped at seeing the deer cross in front of us. My gasp made Daniel put on the brakes and look at me. I looked ahead and saw us running right into the side of a deer.
The deer was dead on impact, and apparently so was our beloved van :( thankfully the impact was not very strong to us and the airbags didn't go off. I'd describe the feeling as hitting a soggy mattress. My dad and brother thankfully came to save us and we were only 15 minutes from their house.
So now we are kind of stuck in Michigan :( we are waiting to hear the news of whether the insurance company is totaling the van or not. With $6500+ damage we are thinking its a goner. We will probably rent a car to drive home and my van hunting will resume again.
What a way to begin our vacation.
