RV Living

Summer camp season has begun, which means Jason's job is in full swing! In an effort to see each other more, we made plans to live part time in an RV at Rockin' C Ranch where Jason works. A generous couple has offered their very nice RV for us to live in for the summer (pictures to come soon). So, Jason and I moved out to the Ranch on Monday and RV living began!

RV Living Journal Entry: Day one
There was a bad storm tonight - lightning, rain, even a little hail. I was on my way to the ranch with a car full of stuff, and Jason, who was already at the ranch, called and said to pull over and not come any further as the storm was rough. So, I spent the next hour at Taco Bueno waiting for Jason to call with the go ahead. I finally arrived at the RV around 10:30pm only to find the electricity was out in half the RV - including fans, AC and outlets to charge our cell phones!

RV Living Journal Entry: Day Two
Got out to the ranch in time to enjoy a "Taco Tuesday" dinner with my husband in the RV. I couldn't believe how exhausted I was. I fell asleep around 8:30pm and was awakened at 2:15am by a strange beeping noise. Jason was fast asleep, so I staggered into the kitchen to find the fridge display saying, "NO FO." Hm. Didn't know what that meant. Pushing any one of the three buttons on the fridge didn't work. So, I just closed the door to the bedroom and fell back asleep. Around 5pm Jason woke up asking me if my alarm was going off - it was still the fridge. So, Jason unplugged it somehow and fixed it later that day.

RV Living Journal Entry: Day Three
Tonight we enjoyed a camp dinner together again. It was spaghetti night. Now, my favorite thing about this meal is the dessert - the most amazing apple pie I have ever had the pleasure of eating! YUM! Jason was free to relax earlier in the evening, so we decided to watch a movie. While Jason was out collecting Nacho Libre, we decided to get a load of laundry going. The RV has a cute little set of a washer and drier. I was in the living room and hear this awful noise followed by an awful smell. Oh yes, gross water was spitting out of the bathroom sink and shower! AH! Jason spent the remainder of the night working with the waste hoses out behind the RV while I was busy disinfecting the bathroom and shower.

RV Living Journal Entry: Day Four
This morning we decided it would be good to spend a few nights back at home. So, I loaded up the remainder of the laundry in my car before I left for work, and plan on having a good night's rest at home.

More to come of the RV Living Journal!

LOL!! OH my gosh! That is too too funny and soooooooo stereotypical of what you'd think RV living would be, but wouldn't think it would ACTUALLY be!

Once all the little details get ironed out I'm sure it will be so great! It really does sound like a lot of fun!

Oh my goodness! That is too funny. I hope it gets a little easier for you, but in the mean time you'll have some great stories.
