This is Our Life

Happy Sabbath everyone... Each morning when I wake up, I love to just lay in bed, with my eyes closed....and think.  It doesn't matter what I'm thinking about(for the most part), but I love to just think.  One of the thoughts that came to my mind this morning was gratitude. It can be sooooo easy to focus on the things that you WANT instead of the things that you have. Hello...my name is Melinda, and I am not always grateful for the things that I have. Admitting your lack of gratitude can be embarrassing, and just plane scary.  We all want to show the world how happy we are in our perfect lives right?  I mean...I can admit it.  But at the end of the day, before you're drifted away into dreamland, what are your final thoughts?  Are you wishing for a better life?  Do you wish for a bigger house, bigger car, more money, to be thinner, to be healthier, to have more children, to have less children,  to not have to work?  The list can go on ...

Oh my...what an exciting and exhausting 1 1/2 weeks. We have come and gone from our Roth family reunion...and it was a BLAST.   I love Idaho so much. We had some really fun times, and made some great memories.  What was my favorite activity?  Movie night in Fred and Jer's backyard(Richards Dad and step-mom). Just about everyone in the family was able to attend.  We set up our projector screen/projector and watched Wreck it Ralph.  How fun right?  It was awesome!  I think we need to make this a family tradition. So...something I wanted to post about tonight was an awesome product I just happened to stumble upon the day we left for Idaho. First, I must tell you that I do not tan...it does not matter what I do, it just doesn't happen.  I've come to terms with it, but that doesn't mean I like it.  I am pasty white.  I will burn, and then turn right back to white....no tan in between.  I REALLY wanted to have some kind of color...
