Riggs Family Cookout

[Brighteagle]

 I finally got to meet my hubby's siblings and stepmom yesterday.  We've been married 3 yrs and he doesn't socialize much with family.  It is an old long story of hurts.  But anyway, his sister and niece stopped by our home on Saturday for a short visit.  His sister said they were having a small family gathering on Sunday, and we were welcome to come.  Knowing my hubby, I didn't think we'd be attending.  But he fooled us all.  We spent six hours there and I really enjoyed it.  I got to meet all except 3 of his siblings, there are 9 children all together counting my hubby, and there were 2 more that died already.  Four  of the nieces and their families were in attendanc, also.   It was nice to eat at someone else's for a change.  I think I will fit into this family better than I orginally thought.  I am looking forward to doing "girl" things with them and to other outings.  Hopefully, this is a reconnection for hubby that he'll continue.
