If y’all have accepted Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and are bothered that much by your sin, then I’d say you have nothing to worry about.

If you weren’t saved, you wouldn’t care about your sin.

Billy Graham put it another way (not that there's anything wrong in what you said, I just like his turn of phrase.)

"The closer you get to The Light, the dirtier you look."

(That's a close paraphrase.)

The ability to be aware of our sin -- and grieve over it, and repent of it -- is itself a gift from God. It's like having live nerve endings that let us feel pain, and turn away from the source of the pain that's hurting us. People with no live nerves (think of those suffering from Hansen's Disease i.e. leprosy) suffer much injury because they aren't aware anything is wrong.
