Being adopted.....

Well, for a while I have belonged to a family but I still felt like I was on the outside looking in. It is my in-laws. Not just the close family of brothers-inlaw or sisters-inlaw, but there are about 55 people in my extended in-lawish family. But it is understandable that I feel a little left out, they have all grown up together and had things to do with each other. So, an outsider who is not used to having family around finds it hard to find a niche in this kind of a world. Well, as I have gotten older and had more and more to do with this family both in individuals and as families I have learned that I can do things and still be myself and yet not embaress myself. AWESOME!! And that I have great ideas that meld with the family as much as someone who has known them their whole lives! Anyways. I am just excited.
