I have been thinking about my husband while he has been away on a business trip. I know God led me to the man of my dreams. I fell love with him because of his love for the Lord, and we got married right away.

But Lord, I think you might have let this ole dirt farmers daughter marry a redneck. So I came up with this quiz to ask my friends here the truth:

After coming up with this little redneck husband quiz, I am starting to come to the conclusion that if you answer mostly "C"s on this quiz about your husband or boyfriend he might just be a redneck.

Good Lord I know I married a redneck! God Loves the redneck.


Disclaimer: Friends, this is all in good fun. See I love my husband. He is a good man, and I appreciate all he does for this family. Even though the above things he does for my family are so far different from his job, of being a nerd, a geek for a large company that takes him on many far and long business trips. I respect him and love him dearly, even though I tease him a lot. God told me:

And to my dear Louis, I only hope I can respect you like you deserve. I can't wait for you to come home so I can be your grease monkey "git it girl", even if it is only for a weekend this month.
