If someone told me 3 years ago that owning a Jeep would change my life... I wouldn’t believe them.
A little back story.
I started off with my 2017 Jeep Patriot Sport SE named Louise. Yes, us Jeepers name our vehicles. It’s a Jeep thing! I didn’t do anything with Louise for about 5 months. No mods, no upgrades, nada. I started joining Jeep groups on Facebook and one specifically for Jeep Patriots. I quickly saw how many different things you could do to Jeeps and fell in love.
I quickly started gravitating towards the Jeep Wranglers specifically. Because let’s be honest they look cool, and they have so many capabilities. But I knew we couldn’t afford one at the time, so I started going to Jeep events with Louise. I started doing mods here and there. Heck I even made a Jeep specific Instagram so I could start connecting with other Jeep owners and sharing pictures/the journey of my Jeep.
Through that process I made some amazing friends, earned some sponsorship opportunities for parts on my Jeep, and connected with some great off-road companies.
The beginning of 2019 is when things started shifting for me. I loved my Patriot but I had done just about all I could to her. I was losing interest and to be honest, I really had my heart set on having a Wrangler.
That year they came out with the Bikini Pearl Wrangler.
I fell IN LOVE!
This Jeep, my dream Jeep.
I wanted it.
Fast forward a couple months.We went to more Jeep events than we ever had in that year. Michael actually ended up buying a 1990 Jeep Cherokee. We took it to an off-road park and that really sold us. We absolutely had a blast!

We eventually took it to Hidden Falls Adventure Park with some of our really good friends and had even more fun!
We were completely hooked on this off-road life.
However, it did freak me out at times!
December 2019 my dream came true.
Although it was a bittersweet moment.
I traded in my Jeep Patriot and brought home my brand new 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport in the Bikini Pearl color.
I still can’t believe it’s real.
As soon as I brought mine home and taking it places, I think Michael was secretly falling in love with the Wrangler.
I would get random texts from him with pictures of Wranglers for sale.
I literally didn’t think that was ever going to happen.
January 2020 he sold his Cherokee and we bought a 2 door 2009 Red Jeep Wrangler.
We have really started bonding with our Jeeps.
Doing little upgrades here and there together.Talking about taking them off-roading. And all our dreams for parts we want to put on our Jeeps.
Our lives are forever changed.
I can’t wait to see where these Jeeps will take us!
