I know it won't last, but we will take it while we've got it!

Andrew and I have spoken quite a bit about the peace that is in our house right now...particularly with the teenagers.  I know that this isn't going to last forever, but oh, it's so great right now!  Believe it or not, Robert is just about my favorite person in the whole world.  He has his "friend" Elizabeth, who I'm pretty sure is the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Andrew and I are actually a little disappointed that she isn't allowed to date...she is a fabulous influence on our son!  Instead of the mopey, moody, and sneaky teen that lives in our house, we have a happy, fun-loving, actually reads-his-texts-to-me teen because he thinks Elizabeth is so funny and wants to share what she writes.

We know this isn't going to last forever...not even close.  There are still hundreds of poor choices in his future.  There are still going to be days when I pray that we figure out how to get through each day.  There are going to be days when I cry and worry about the future for him...but those days aren't today.  He is making good choices, and we've talked about how much more freedoms and happiness there is in life when we can trust his choices.  For right now, we are just going to soak it all in!
