My boyfriend of almost 6 months broke up with me on Friday. And my heart hurts. I know what a lot of you may be thinking, it wasn't even 6 months yet, how bad can it be! But for those of you that really know me, you know that that short amount of time is more than enough time for me to know that I was in love with him. In college, my two BFFs talked about how I would meet someone some day and fall in love and be married after 6 months. I thought they were crazy. But they were right, I could have married my boyfriend. I don't think I was quite ready for that, but I know that if he would have asked, I would have been ready right then and there. But more so, I could have had babies with him. And again, for those of you that really know me, that is a bigger deal to me than marriage. According to the laws of SATC , I have three months to get over him. That amount of time seems absurd when you loved someone, when you could have married them, when you could have had babies with them.

I spent last night getting acquainted with my boyfriend's parents. I got to hear stories about when he was young and how he mastered his fine motor skills long before he mastered his larger motor skills. My favorite story was about him in kindegarten. His birthday is in October and they started him in kindegarten right before he turned 6, which was too late for him. His mom said he was always bored because he was too smart. One day he came home and was upset. His mom asked why. He said, "I'm bored." His mom asked him why he was bored and he said, "Because I don't even know what 100+100 is!" His mom asked him what 100+100 is and he exclaimed, "200, but I haven't learned that yet!"
