Yeah I know exactly what you mean Pinky. I did mention to her maybe she shouldn't just toss that word around like that though, because the future may hold something different for her and him. I told her to think about what she wants for her own future...college, work, etc. and ask herself if he really fits into all that and think about how they would handle temporary, or even semi permanent seperations in the not so distant future. I *think* she understood what I was saying. It's difficult to talk sense to someone with their eyes glazed over with puppy love
However I did try to insert some reality in there amidst the hormones and intense feelings
I just don't want her to get her feelings hurt too badly later on if it doesn't work out. First love is very very difficult, and crushing if it fails. I mentioned that MOST first relationships DO fail, and that she should keep that in the back of her mind, and just enjoy the learning experience as much as she can. He's a sweet kid, she can be too, and they are both very sensitive. Truly, I worry more about the boy in this situation though, DD is not as sensitive as he seems to be. That kid hugs ME before he leaves lol! I kinda hope his mom catches on and talks to him too.
Older DD's 1st boyfriend was a real jerk(her words), so it wasn't so hard for her. Anyway, I probably just worry too much. The ILY was just kinda shocking this soon.
It's raining today, has rained most of the night. The garden will love it
Meanwhile, the house is mostly clean, laundry is caught up, and I can't work outside. I guess I'll redo the jelly I made last month that didn't set. I think maybe I didn't cook it long enough. I followed the directions, but....it didn't do right. I'll see if I can get it to gel this time. I have a lot more to make as well. I may try to sell some at the flea market too, so I could go ahead and make some more as well. I'll decide after I see how I feel after the redos
The sink works GREAT now 
It's slightly frustrating!
