The things your eye's have seen.
I went to my grandmother's house for the new years it was a long two and a half hours drive from San Antonio to a small town called Eagle Pass. It started raining that morning that I left my house and sat in the passenger's seat of my mother's Ford truck.
With one slice of pizza that she brought with her from work on one hand while the other was maneuvering the steering wheel. Chunk of cheese dripped down on her shirt and mumbling words to my sister who was seated in the back set.
I looked at the pizza and didn't wanted to have that for breakfast so I skipped it for now until we can stop at a gas station to get some coffee and maybe get some of my own breakfast.
The road was wet due to the rain and slow drizzle started I figured it would be so long before we get there so I took a nap while my mother drove and we then later, saw gray covered skies which means no more rain fell on that day.
The new years at my aunt was filled with old and new relatives. Food was scattered around as appetizers from cheese, cake, chips and dip, salsa, cookies and a batch of celery and carrots and olives. I made my way from indoors to outdoors stopping here and there to speak to some of the people at the event tried to avoid contact with everyone as much as possible.
My phone was dying and I didn't charge it last night nor today so I kept an eye out wondering if Aaron would send me a text for the new years and slipped my hands in my pocket to feel if my phone was still alive and kicking.
Earlier on that day, I called Aaron right before I left San Antonio to inform him that I would leave and because he wanted to talk before I left. I woke up and had an hour to change and get ready. While holding my phone on my ear and sliding shirts along the hangers inside my closet. Ringing. Answer machine. Ringing. Answer Machine. I ended up calling him fifteen times until I was running late and changed.
While at the family gathering, he text me and woke up and he was as always, adorable texting about how he didn't heard the phone ring. He is a heavy sleeper. I'll get to talk to him when I get home which would be tonight.
Around 12am we all stepped outside to see the show of fireworks go off and the countdown to the New Year. In the few seconds we had left the fireworks went off and the skies were covered in colored flame that sparkled in the dark skies.
It reminded me of a time I dreamed of going to this carnival-like world and the skies would glow in the same manner you would pop fireworks. To see a place that is as dreamy as the things your eye's have seen, what a wonderful world it would be. Fantasy, and very heavenly-like place.
Aaron texted me and told me Happy New year and he loved me which I also replied to the same. Hugging and care and other things were involved followed by tears of joy and greeting the new year.
After that we all just had a good time talking and having a few drinks. I didn't really drink that much because drinking with my family has always appealed to be as awkward. I think that I just don't want my family to see how I get when I'm buzzing or drunk which is not the same as fun as I have with my friends.
Any-who, I should be home tonight and although I don't have internet at home anymore. So if I ever come across a computer with internet access such as the Library that is a few miles from my house. I can always and enjoy the walk from point home to point library is always peaceful and fun to pass through the river and scenery.
