About Me

I'm Astra, I married my best friend on July 28th 2012 and August 4th moved into a 23 ft travel trailer. I am currently traveling around the country with my husband as he works on the power lines. I am learning a lot about life on the road, traveling from RV Park to RV Park in a 5th wheel. I am extremely happy in life right now and am just enjoying every minute of it! I graduated from Lewis & Clark State college with my BS in Managerial Accounting. I have put my career on hold but it is all worth it to be with my husband. LIFE IS GOOD!

Colorado here we come!!

We're headed to Colorado, but we don't know when or where.  We could be leaving tomorrow, or Sunday, I am really hoping for tomorrow so Brandon has a day to get Piper set up before he leaves for work.  Sounds promising that we'll be going to Greeley, CO, north of Denver, but there has been mention of Thornton too.  Brandon practically live in Thornton for 8 months, it is where his shower, I mean gym, was that he went to every day.  I wouldn't mind Thornton, but honestly at this point I am so ready for anywhere!

I've tried to be strong and I think I've been a pretty good trooper but NM is the most boring and lonely state in the country.  Brandon has 3 hours of drive time each day and works 10-12 hour days so I never see him.  Mix that with no cell service, there being NOTHING down here and I am 20 miles from "town" that only has one store, I've gone a bit crazy!  I cant wait for restaurants, shopping, PEOPLE, grocery stores and gas stations just down the street, coffee shops, running trails, Target, a GYM, closer to home, and seeing FRIENDS!

So today my job is to get Piper travel ready just in case we leave tomorrow.  I will:

  • Pack up all our dishes so they don't break in travel
  • Move anything heavy out of the cupboards
  • Move everything off of the counters
  • Strap down the chairs and recliners
  • Strap Cupboards shut
  • Take down all my decorations
  • Clean
  • Vacuum
  • Take anything out of the bathroom cupboard that could fall out in travel
Brandon's job is to

  • Move the tvs and secure them 
  • Unhook our water, sewer and electric
  • Hook up to Piper
I'm a little nervous I will miss something, I've only packed up Piper one other time and we had just got it so I didn't have as much stuff.  I can guarantee by the end of the apprenticeship, I'll be the fastest girl ever at getting a 5th wheel travel ready :)
