-New Years Eve-
I got up an got dressed an left a note to Beau telling him I was going to work will be back at four. I go get into my truck after eating a piece of toast an I drive to work with it being six am. "Morning Dixie I'm glad you, Sarah, an Angie could come in today it might be slow but I will definitely pay y'all extra let's go." Boss says. We go inside an figured out that Sarah will run the cash register am me an Angie will work the floor then rotate. We get everything ready with boss cooking an Sarah kinda helping with the food an drinks an soon boss says open the doors an I turn the sign to open. A few men come in an sit in Angie's section an I help with the drinks. "Hey Dixie you got a costumer." Sarah says. I turn an see my dad's parents an I walk over there. "Good morning I'm Dixie an I will be your waitress for today what would you like to drink." I say smiling. "I would like coffee an so would she." Grandpa says. I smile an go get there coffee but nothing happened they ate an left acted like I wasn't even there didn't even leave a tip. "Dang Dixie they don't like you do they?" Sarah ask. "No they don't let's switch shifts it's close to lunch time an I want to get me something to eat before the rush hour comes in." I say. She nods her head an takes my spot an I order a grilled cheese. "You know I shouldn't do this bit I'm giving it to you for free." Boss says. "Well Thank you boss." I say. He makes my grilled cheese an I eat it an the I switch with Angie because she does not do good with stress. The lunch hour rush was definitely a rush an once lunch was over me an Sarah were gulping down water an sitting down. "Well girls I believe it's time to let y'all get to your New Years fun but be safe an the extra cash will be on your check now get out of here." Boss says. We take off are work stuff an run to my truck because Sarah, Eric, Angie, Seth, Beau, mom, Beth, John, Abigail, an Bridget decided to do fireworks an spend time by the bonfire. We head home an the boys were setting everything up an momma an Beth were cooking while the kids where shooting bottle rockets. "Did ya have a good day at work girls?" Mom ask. "Works work mom but it was definitely a tough day with rush hour worse than Thanksgiving break." I say. "Oh poor girls sit down an have ya a drink of sweet tea." Beth says. We sit down after grabbing sweet tea. "The boys went to go get fireworks an stuff to put on the grill how does hamburgers, chilly dogs, chips, an smores sound?" Mom ask. We all say good an drink are sweet tea until it was time to help mom an Beth with getting the food outside an the boys had the bonfire ready to be lit an we sat around the table while the boys began cooking. "Dixie are you ready for the new year?" Angie ask. "Yea I am soon I will be done with high school an a new door will open." I say. The conversation went on from there till supper time. We pray an eat supper an talk about everyday stuff an the new year coming. "Beau can we talk for a minute?" Beth ask. "Yea Sure girls your going to help mom clean up." I say. Me an Beth walk toward the barn. "I can't Thank you for all that you have done for us that day Dixie an I want to let you know that I got the job at the hospital an soon I will have my own place for me an Bridget to stay." Beth says. "That's great Beth an no don't worry about that you can stay on this land for as long as you want you will all ways have a place on this land." I say. "Oh thank you dear thank you so much." Beth says. She hugs me then we go back over to the rest who are around the bonfire an I sit on Beau's lap. He wraps his arms around me an I just melt in his arms an look around an realize this is how I want my new year to start with family all around me that I love. "What you thinking about?" Beau whispers. "Just thinking about how glad I am my life is going good an I am glad Im ringing in the new year with the ones I love." I whisper. He smiles an kisses my neck then my cheek an we listen to the bugs until it was a minute to midnight an we count down an on midnight new years Beau kisses me then he goes running off with Seth an Eric to light fireworks. "Dixie, Sarah, an Angie come stand right here." Beth says. Mom an Beth moves us to a certain spot an soon fireworks lit up the sky an close to the end it pops up in the sky asking to go to prom with them. The boys come out of the trees an we run to them an we both hug an kiss them an say yes. Soon we are cleaning up an carrying kids to there beds an then the rest go to bed happy.
