You Might Be a Redneck...

On Friday night, Ryan and I were blessed with a gift card to a local restaurant and an offer for free babysitting.  You can't beat that with a stick!  So we gladly took our sweet friends up on the offer and had a date night.  We figured it was probably the last time for quite a while and we wanted to enjoy every second.  

The problem was we got a late start on our date because we thought I might be going into labor.  (Clearly I didn't.)  So after dinner, we didn't have time to do much else.  But I did have a gift card to Wal-Mart that was burning a hole in my pocket and I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on.  So, off we went.  As soon as we walked in the doors, I told Ryan that I felt like I was in college again.  (All you Ouachita alums know EXACTLY what I'm talking about... Friday night at Wal-Mart.)

Back tot he baby section we went and got the couple of things we needed and then Ryan said there was something he wanted to look at over in the sporting goods department.  Off we went. 

As we walked away from the checkout counter we just had to laugh at ourselves. Because in true Jeff Foxworthy fashion:

If you take your pregnant wife to Wal-Mart on a Friday night date to buy a breast pump and bullets for your hand gun... YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK!

I guess if the shoe fits, wear it proudly.  :)

Andy & I cracked up when we read this post. Our date nights almost always end up at Wal-Mart.

HILARIOUS. This item will ensure more nights away from baby boy than you had with Eva. I'm certain of it.

This is hilarious, but isn't that what Wal-Mart is for? Extremely random purchases? :) On a different note, I have that same pump and like it quite well. Hope it is good for you too.

Ha--that sounds like our dates! We even get REAL crazy sometimes and go to Barnes and Noble.
