Sun Rises are Beautiful....

.....especially when they come with a few bottles of wine (and a bit of beer), a camp fire, and great friends. You know the whole thing about trying to stay young by staying up late, well last night I was 17 again. Katie, Jamie and I sat around the camp fire last night acting like top notch boy scouts keeping the fire going when it got cold, stirring it when the coals need oxygen the whole nine yards.

We talked about the past, the future, the wedding, and anything else we could conjure up (the conversations got more and more pointless but yet the time we spent out there was fun and you know how they say time flies when you're having fun...well time flew.

When one of us finally spoke up and said "man I am getting tired" it was 4:30am. So we packed some things up and heading inside only to discover that our sleep would not come easily due to our hunger and what better than pudgy pies on the fire at 5 in the morning. So we roasted pudgy pies on the fire and ate and laughed some more and gasped as we watched the sky gradually get lighter and lighter (it was really neat to watch; it has been a long time since I have seen that, like 6-7 years).

Then finally at about 2 till 6 we decided it was time for bed. They slept on the pullout sofa and I went to stealthily crawl in to bed as to not wake Paul, ready with an excuse like I just got up to get a glass of water. Although as I lay down cautiously, low and behold his alarm begins to blare through the silent air. He switched the noisy thing off look up at me, frozen in my get in bed quite cause it is late, pose and began to laugh. Our conversation was short due to my drowsiness.

Paul - "I see you girls had a fun night!"

Me - "Yup"

Paul - "I have to go into work for a bit, you get some sleep and when I get back we can do yard work, cause if you sweat it out you feel better."

Me - "I don't believe you, I am going to sleep for a while you wake me up when......no don't wake me up at all I want to sleep.

So our campfire was great along with our conversation, wine, beer, company and our sunrise, well, that was bittersweet; beautiful yet exhausting.
