New.

This time last year my parents were just getting rid of their car and purchased a 2009 Nissan Rogue.  They always told me that when they were going to sell it in a couple of years that they wanted me to buy and I figured it could be a good investment (even though cars aren't really investments).  Anyway it just so happens that last Saturday they were at Wilson Motor looking for a new car for our office.  They came across a Nissan Murano (a bigger/nicer version of a Rogue) and decided they wanted that car. (Very impulsive I know... I know...).  Well Monday my mom confronted me about purchasing their Rogue, if I wanted to, but no pressure.  After talking to Derek about it and figuring out if I could afford it, I decided to do it.  I'm so excited.  I have to say though- even though its a huge upgrade from my Accord, I'm pretty sad to part from that car.  That car has some good memories in it!  But here are just a few pictures of Rogue's, none of these are the exact one I'm buying, but you get this gist!

Here is the car, and the color of the one I'm getting (Iridium Graphite)

Picture of the back

And the 'trunk' but my interior is Black, and that is not my dog.

Ok this is obviously the back seat, but there is a lot more leg room than the

Accord had to offer.  And cup holders in the back, that's an upgrade!

Haha I couldn't find a picture of the actual front seats so here is just one,

its black leather with little red dots on it.

Front seat, I love that I actually have automatic windows, lock and cruise control.

So the car will be officially mine tomorrow morning.  I wanted to rush on the car so that I could use it to drive up to Bear Lake this weekend.  But funny story, My Step Dad took the car last night to Tremonton for the Tremonton Fair. (Not by choice, he had to sit at a booth for his office for 5 hours).  Anyway, he told me and my mom that he hoped he didn't hit a deer on the way back home.  I know he just says stuff like this to get me all worked up, but I figured it would probably happen just because I have great luck like that.  Well instead of a deer he hit a skunk. And instead of deer blood on the hood of the car, I get Skunk Spray.  I guess it smelled so bad that they couldn't park their car in the garage last night, gross.

Derek and I are pretty excited for this car.  Although its just me buying it, I'll look at it as ours.  Its an SUV so that IF I ever have children I can keep this car for a while because they'll fit in it really easy.  I'm super stoked for this car and although the responsibility is terrifying, I'm so excited to be doing this on my own.  It will really teach me how to manage my money for the past 2 1/2 years of living on my own I've just spent my money on whatever I've wanted to.  Now if anyone knows of someone looking for a decent Honda Accord, LET ME KNOW!
