My Family, Mi Familia!

A lot going on in our lives lately.
We haven't been very good at keeping up on here as we had planned. I will try harder. 2010 hasn't been the most friendly of years for us.
It started out with a hard lesson that we feel no family should ever have to endure, the lesson that we try to teach our children everyday that no matter what your family is and always should be more valuable than money. I can't say much on the subject, but I can say that the Keepers Family I once referred to as my dis-functional family is not at all the case. No matter what I have said or done to disappoint my family I know they have always loved me and been 100% supportive of my decisions, my life and my illegitimate children and all of my failures! I realize that although we never had much financially, we always had each other. And today we can laugh about the times that we would have popcorn for dinner night because we couldn't afford "real food" or that our mom is the only mom we know who can make a mean creamed pea's over potato chips cause that was all we had in the cupboard. When the rest of the world tried to beat us down, I always had my brothers and sister and best of all we had each other. And the best thing of all my family loves and appreciates my husband and I thank each and everyone of them for accepting him! He is the love of my life and knowing that my family loves him makes my love even stronger. Here's to the worst beginning, but the best ending!!!!
I love you all so much!
