Hey TexasDI, welcome to the board!

I would keep it and let it grow from here. The sides may take a couple of weeks, but that's the case for most of us on here. My cheeks look horrible until 8 weeks of growth. I think that you are your worst critic. Avoid mirrors and razors and let it grow. As for your goatee, Razorslave (his thread is in other beard styles) has similar growth and after a few weeks it grew out fine. It very well could be slow growers. I have some in the center of my mustache.

Your stache and goatee are very strong, which is good. That's where the main focus will be. Don't be so hard on yourself and keep us posted weekly of your progress.

Chris
