Blissful Irrationality

I feel like in a lot of these posts, I say how grown up I feel. It's massively true. I never would have guessed even 6 months ago that late nights out would be acceptable now. I didn't get home until well after midnight on Friday due to being stuck in 2 1/2hr traffic. The ride was torturous, but I had Josh and two of his close friends in the back seat. They're both cool people. It was nice being able to actually talk to my boyfriends friends - be in his world. His friends seem to like me. We spent the hours discussing hookups and sex. You would think it would be awkward, but I like having people who aren't so conservative. God forbid if I touched upon the topic of sex with a male friend when I was with JP. My dad greeted me when I got home late and didn't mind. 

The next morning we left on a little road trip. We drove to CT and went to a whaling/boating museum. It had real ships and a recreated sea village from the 17-1800s. I found it all to be so fascinating. My mom had to stay behind due to work, but I still had a lot of fun. My dad and brother and I had fun together. Although, I was wishing the entire time that Josh were there with me. He'd love the history behind it and all of the cool buildings and exhibits. I wish I could take him everywhere with me. 

Josh started law school today. He's going to be busy for a long day each day. He's heard several professors say that law school will test relationships. We've endured long distance, and have been through a lot already. Both of our professions need a lot of dedication to succeed. Every relationship also needs dedication. Complete dedication is hard to find these days, but I know he and I have a 100% chance at succeeding in this relationship. We both care so irrationally for each other for only being together 4 months. Sometimes, irrational is a good thing - even a blessing.
