Life Update - Meredith Rines

life update — Whoa holy makeup, batman. I had someone do my makeup for a big event a few months ago… Wow!

I thought it was time to fill you in on a little about my life. You probably gathered from this post about quitting your job that I actually did quit my job that I had for over 5 years. Fortunately, I found a new job in the field I want to be in. My bosses are amazing and I am loving everything so far.

Maggie and Tiny are doing the same. They are spoiled and would not know any other way to be.

J and I joined a local gym and have set the goal of going 3x a week. Eventually we would like to bump that up, but for now 3x is good for us.

We also set the goal of cooking dinner at least 4x a week at home. That will help us save some money, eat healthier, and just spend more time together.

My family has come up to visit a few times, which has been awesome. I love my folks and getting to spend time with them is pretty much the best.

I started a new vlog series and am going to be sharing what I am thankful for each month.

I have a plan of making our breakfast each morning and so far I have been successful. A homemade chocolate peanut butter smoothie for me and a vanilla banana smoothie for J.

We are closer to finishing one of our debts and then will be diving headfirst into paying the next one off. We will achieve our goal of saving a down payment for our first house!

Now for some sad news… well actually it’s not that sad. I’ve decided that I cannot keep up my blogging schedule, which explains why my blog has been pretty quiet lately. I typically post on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. It is just too much. So for now I am going to post 2-3 times per week. I am going to aim for Monday, Wednesday and Friday but give myself Monday off if needed. I do not need to stress about not being able to post and I think that will help the quality of my posts too. If you have serious complaints about my new schedule, please let me know. 🙂
