Muffy

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted a Jeep Wrangler. My closest family friends have an old, black, stick-shift one, and I have countless fun memories from when I was a kid, riding in the back in the summer with the top off and all the kids from the neighborhood piled in to go to the beach. It's the car that my best friend drove me to school in every day my freshman year (her senior year), chugging along as she tried to figure out how to smoothly drive stick. The Jeep was fun. 

When I got my license, I begged my parents for a car of my own. From the very beginning, I was off taking one car or another, favoring my mom's SUV. 

The week after my birthday in July, my dreams came true!

How cute is she? I named her Muffy, and I am obsessed. For those of y'all who have never had the chance to drive a Wrangler, I highly recommend it. I've never had this much fun driving a car. And for those of you who have–Jeep Nation, baby–you know what I'm talking about.

I was so lucky that Muffy came with both a soft-top and a hard-top, so I plan on using the soft-top in the spring and summer when the weather is nice (this way I can easily just take it off!) and the hard-top when it gets cold.

What I'm most excited for is to get some decals for my windshield. I contemplated for a long time whether I'd put them on the front windshield or the back, but since I only want two, and I'll be using the soft-top often, I think I'll put them in the passenger side corners of my front windshield!

My decals of choice? My monogram (natch) and the University of Alabama logo (Roll Tide!).

Dixieland Monogram sells vinyl monogram decals in sizes ranging from two to six inches. I'm thinking four inches will be perfect! As for Alabama, the crimson A will work just fine for me.

Last Week

Yes, last week rocked.

I turned 17.

{My best friends surprised me with a dinner reservation to my one of my favorite places downtown: Bull and Bear!}

I got a car.

{Muffy and Me. Isn't she gorge?!}

I celebrated my favorite holiday ever.

 {Who doesn't love the Fourth?}

Now let me just say, I got countless compliments on the tank I wore on the 4th. It's from The Fraternity Collection (formerly known as The Frat Collection), but I picked it up from a local store called Country Classics. I got a medium because I wanted it to be a little oversized, and that worked perfectly. I think I would have been swimming in a large! The quality is also top notch–good fabric for the pocket, supersoft cotton on the tank–I definitely recommend the brand, plus all of their shirts are fully customizable on the website!

And on top of all this goodness, I also found not one, but TWO part-time nannying jobs that I can balance with each other and still have time to dance. How great is that?
