Our perfect family evening

I have to admit, I'm an old fuddy duddy sometimes. I struggle with my age. I am 28 but often times feel as though I am well into my forties.I lived a crazy life for a while there as a teen. I won't go into the extreme or the horribly personal, but mostly it was bad. From 16 to 19, I lived as the young man lived in the story of the prodigal son. I squandered all I had, I smoked, I drank, partied, tattooed and pierced myself (often), and finally had something happen to me that brought me to my knees. Luckily, that's exactly where GOD is! To say the least I was saved, to say more, I was changed and so was my entire life. It was not extremely fast. It was slow, just me and God taking it one step at a time. Each time He whispered into my ear, "don't you think it's time to give this up Valerie?" I quit smoking at 19 and quit drinking at 20, just shy of the legal age to start. Flash forward 8 years and now this is what I consider a GREAT time.
Doing a puzzle with my two sweet kids and the hubby. I love those nights. The nights where nobody is on the computer, and everyone just want's to sit and be together. I wish I could say this happens every night. It does not. My hubby and I have bad habits of selfishness and often (prepare yourselves!) even laziness when it comes to really good quality time together. I think its because we homeschool we feel we are "around" each other all the time. Which is true, but quantity time is not a replacement for Quality. So at the end of the day it's true, this tattooed wild child, now loves nothing more than just being together with my family, knowing God is there with us, loving us, and willing us to love each other.
