Well… it looks like William’s holiday plans have been pretty much turned upside down this year. As you saw in a previous post, after getting caught in Denver for a snow storm and having his flight canceled, he decided to make he long 14 hour drive to Dallas. He planned to spend Christmas here and we would both leave on the 29th to spend New Year’s weekend in Jacksonville with his parents and attend their New Year’s Eve party as we did last year. Well… those plans went out the window (or should I saw washed down he sewer) following torrential rain in Dallas that closed the airport for a period of time and led to several flight cancellations, including our flight. We soon found out after several phone calls to Continental’s 800 number and waiting in line at the ticket counter for 2 hours to see if we could get re-booked, and about 5 hours total at the airport that the only option for getting to Jacksonville was on Sunday, so we decided to not go through the headaches and hassles and just stay in Dallas for New Year’s. That is the abbreviated version. I do not feel up to talking about the unprofessionalism of the continental staff (mainly one person in particular who screamed and yelled and could care less about the stranded passengers). So it looks like we will be making other New Year’s celebration plans. On the positive side, at least we are together and don’t have to spend the holiday alone, but the Florida sunshine sure would have been nice, not to mention the chance for William to spend time with his parents. Hopefully next year things will be much smoother!
Ever heard of Murphy’s Law?
Thanks…?
Wow…This has REALLY been a tough holiday for you both, and one thins is for sure…you are NOT supposed to reach Jacksonville this season. Cheer up, embrace it and one another, and have a glass (or seven) of something that will cheer you up.
Love you guys, and Happy New Year,
Jos
PS: Cody, we will be contacting you soon about this website…Kyle just told me he wants to call it ‘The Brazile Brief’ 🙂
It’s been rough. I was looking forward to seeing my parents. Thanks for trying to cheer me up! I look forward to visiting the Brazile Brief. I sent you a really long e-mail about setting up a blog.
Happy New Year!
Dear William and Kyllan,
Happy New Year to you both. Well, this is your year for the wedding and William completing school. I pray that everything goes well with your research and studies William. Stay focused, everything will work out well. I know this past holiday did not go as planned. However, we were thankful that you had time to spend with Kyllan, Kim, Rob and Drew in Dallas. We are praying for your safe return to Denver. It looks like it’s snowing again.
This truly has been an unusual winter for us. No snow in Cleveland,plenty of sunshine. Really strange weather!!!
Just think, nine months to go before the wedding. We are very happy and waiting for the final plans to fall in place with the transportation and invitation vendors.
Well, have a blessed week.
Again Happy New Year!
Mom and Dad Brown
Kyllan and I spent New Year’s and Christmas with Kim, Rob and Drew. We had a really good time. I took my camcorder for Christmas, but I don’t have any footage from New Year’s. I will send you the footage as soon as a get a chance… I don’t think this is the year that I finish School.
