6:30...do not, I repeat DO NOT be late

Dinner was at 6:30; if you were late, it was almost as bad as being late for curfew. My parents were big on family dinner time, and still are when we are all home. Every night, regardless of what was going on, dinner was at 6:30. If I was cooking, which was often, I liked to change the time to around 7 or later, I was never good at having food on the table at 6:30. Looking back on dinner time now, I am so thankful that my parents were so adamant about the time and all of us being there. Some of the best and most "educational" conversations came from family dinner time, granted that's also where Reid and I fought the most. There are many things that I miss about home but dinner time with my family is definitely at the top of the list. Not until I got to college did I realize 1) how great of a family I had 2) how truly blessed I am 3) how smart my parents are ;-).  I have the most wonderful family, immediate and extended. Speaking of extended, my Austin family comes back within the week and I cannot wait, they do family dinner time too! Anyways, love you all.
