So long, I forgot about my Blog

I'm up late tonight. I can't sleep. Things are running through my mind and I cannot make my mind shut off. I'm thinking about a conversation Alex and I have been having. Sort of an ongoing thing. She feels she is ready to be married as soon as a certain young man comes home from his mission. She is thinking of dates, and I guess in a way so am I. I was counseled that should this wedding come about, I should not discourage it. But Alex is only 16, almost 17. And by the time this young man comes home she will still only be 18, and by the date she is talking about she will still only be 19. He will be 21. So, So young. And they both want school, but they will need full time jobs to be able to even live in a humble apartment. ARGH. It's very frustrating and scary. And it's her life. So I should just let them learn. Things were just so hard for Robert and I and we were in our 30's when we got married, (well I was anyway, he was only 26). I want things to be easier for Alex. But with hard work comes learned lessons I suppose.
