Keeping it classy..kind of.

Its no secret that I have a love for wine or budlight..

or is it?

Have I shared that with you? Hmm.. maybe not.

Well now you know :)

So last weekend NG and I shared a few cocktails before heading out to his friends bbq. (and) By bbq I mean pig roast. Which by pig roast, I mean the pig was alive mere hours before. They shot it... prepared it... and stuck it on the roaster that morning.

I also mean, that in a flannel shirt (for NG's benefit) I was almost over dressed. Which is what NG was trying to tell me as we got ready for the night. I tried on several outfits. He sat there cowboy boots and all, saying "Brittany.. I'm serious... Jeans and a T'shirt will be perfect!" So I put away my new cotton vest and heels, and settled on the Flannel and jeans.

Upon arrival I instantly fell in love with his friends. Several of the girls approached me right away. Instead of it being intimidating, it was refreshing. They were all smiles, and asked how we met. NG got me a Budlight, and the girls and I settled into an easy conversation.

Every once and a while I would look up to find NG across the yard talking to his friends. He would glance my direction to check on me, and I would smile at him. He whispered more then once, that it felt we had known each other so much longer then we have. We just sort of fit into each others lives with such ease. I felt as if I had been a part of his "group" forever.

Several beers, and one HUGE campfire later, we were ready to go. NG had a perfect surprise to end the night. We got into his convertible with the top down, and drove the back country roads. (p.s. NG did not drink nearly anything.. so no worries there!) I wasn't sure where we were going, since I'm not familiar with the area. I laid back in the seat, and stared up at all the stars twinkling just for me.

Just before I almost fell asleep, NG pulled over. I looked around, and it seemed we were in the middle of no where. BUT it wasn't just anywhere.. it was the acreage his family owns. (aww!) So we laid back in our seats, with some music playing, and the lights off. I listened to him tell me stories about growing up on the farm. Between the warmth of his shoulder, the sound of his voice, and cool breeze, I started to fall asleep.. (or pass out.. what'ev!)

NG must have caught on, so he started the engine, and tried to pull out of the ditch..

and tried..

and tried again..

Only we were stuck! (ha!) I woke up long enough to say:

"I'll get out and push!"

He laughed and replied:

"That WOULD be a perfect end to this redneck date, but no, thanks!"

So NG called his friend to pull us out, and I wrapped my sweatshirt around me, curled up and fell back asleep. I didn't wake up the entire time the truck pulled us out. I didn't wake up when his best friend said hi to me. I didn't wake up until we were back to his home.

By morning and after his perfect morning wake up call, I had almost forgotten about getting stuck. I might have..

except when we finally dragged ourselves out the door to get breakfast, I couldn't help but remember!

HIS CAR WAS COVERED-COVERED- in mud and grass! :) After that all we could do was laugh... AND go wash his car! :)

:) Maybe it wasn't quite classy, but I couldn't imagine a better date!
