my favorite nights

I sat and chilled around a campfire with Eric, Pete, Dave and Delaina tonight and it was one of my favorite nights in a really long time. 

There's something to be said for sitting and enjoying a beautiful, brink-of-fall evening with a small group of people who know you really well.  Granted, none of them have known me beyond 2 years ago, but in that time, I feel that they have really come to know who I truly am and I love that I can just be with them.

Anyway, it's almost 3am and for whatever reason, I'm not asleep yet, despite having been up for almost 24 hours.

Oh, also...

Welcome Aston Pierce Gillen into the world.  Niece/nephew #8.  One more step in the process for Gillen world domination.
