Patrick's very first car was an old CJ5 Jeep...he still had it when we first started dating in college and at times I thought he liked the Jeep more than me (jk!) But I heard so many stories about how he spent weekends fixing it up and riding it around. Unfortunately the jeep eventually had to go as it wasn't the most reliable car for getting back and forth between Lubbock and Dallas. But for the past 10 years Patrick has talked about getting another one. So a few months ago I decided I would look for a jeep to buy Patrick for his 30th birthday...and never in a million years did I think I would find one that was the exact same colors as his old jeep. It isn't an old CJ5 but it looks pretty similar. I found it at a dealership while we were out of town over New Years Eve and thought I'd buy it and keep it at my sisters until his bday but I knew he would find out so I decided to just give it to him the night I bought it. He took Emma to dance and he thought Bryan and I were going to the grocery store...little did he know "grocery store" was code for "jeep dealership"! Needless to say he was shocked when he went to pull his car in and another was in it's spot!! He still has his Saab to drive back and forth to work but on those super nice days, which we've had more of this January then every before, he takes the jeep out!!
