family

what defines a family? this has been on my mind a lot lately. what do you have to do to be considered FAMILY? I mean yes, my mother father and siblings are my family. and of course Alexis. but then everyone else, i mean what does society define as a family. Me? I consider Joe my family obviously. but then I also consider my "should be inlaws" my family too. is that wrong? Today we spent the day with them, well the evening and I just felt 100% at home. They understand and they are supportive and over the last 2 months they have gotten to know me pretty well. They genuinely care about me and Alexis. The love us unconditionally and when we are together its relaxed, we are ourselves and we can tease and play but also be serious. Does this make them "family" in the eyes of society? I am not sure. But they are family in my book, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I love have another set of parents and another set of arms and ears for when i need them and Alexis just loves  them, and her cousins. and we love them too! Ashleigh, Joey and Lauren are great and the boys are adorable. anyway. this is my random vent about my family. because in my book they are family. I don't need blood or paperwork to prove anything.
