Hey Everyone!
Thought I'd make a thread here to let y'all know of my busyness, and therefore, absence on HW for the next couple weeks...

Life has been crazily busy for me over the past month and a half. Every time I think it's about to start slowing down, more comes up and things get even busier. All of this week is filling up faster than I can think, and Saturday I leave to do a week of counseling at a summer camp.

So, I need to take a break from HW. This week, I will still have internet access, so I might be around the chat room a bit, but I'm going to try to refrain from posting in the forum so that I can devote my time to other things. The week after, I shall be entirely gone.

Shall look forward to seeing y'all a little throughout this week, and then more fully once I return from camp!

Take care, Nicole! It has been nice to see you in the chatroom, and I hope to catch you there again so we can have a proper chat.

Hope you have a great time at camp!

See you when you return!

But I only just met you!!!

I suppose I should be unselfish, though, and allow you to take care of your business.

I hope your busyness goes well, Nicole.

Aww, you won't be gone from Twitter, will you? I'll miss your non-smiley-faced sweetness!

Regardless, I hope your busyness goes well for you!

Elanor, we do need to have a chat sometime!

It was fun chatting with you last night, Airi! I'll look forward to getting to know you more once I'm back!

Thank you, Jonathan!

I'm not planning on being gone from Twitter, actually, Grace. Though, you may have noticed I've been using a few smiley faces here lately.

Thank you, all!

Sounds like a deal.

Bye Nicole! I look forward to your full return!

Bye Nicole! Come back soon, and we'll miss you!

You know I'll miss you!!!

I'll make sure Jay's sentencing info is mailed to you ASAP, like you requested, so you won't be worrying about that the whole time.

Bye, Nicole!

I'm back! I missed y'all a bunch while I was gone!

But, it was a good time at camp. God is awesome. More and more awesome than we'll ever know. It was a good week. I'll just have to say that for now.

I'm exhausted right now....God is good, so it doesn't matter...I just can't think straight. See y'all around!

I'm glad you're back, Nicole.

Thank you, Jonathan! I'm so glad to be back.

Once I become less tired I have much posting to do here around HW

You're back!!! I'm glad you had a good time. You owe me a PM when you're up to it.

Thanks, Lycanis! Yes, I owe you a PM...I'll try for early next week sometime. You don't want it right now, believe me. It would be long and make little sense See you around!

Sounds good! Okay!

Welcome back!

So glad to see you back, Nicole! *gasp* TWO smileys! I'm going to tell Matthew Sample on you.

So...I returned, but now I think I need to depart for a few more days.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. And I'm waaaay behind on my Bible memory work. By Sunday noon, I need to have 70 verses learned word perfect.

Pretty much, memory work is what I'm gonna be doing until Sunday noon, methinks. If I have some spare time I may be by...but I highly doubt that any spare time will exist.



*gasps* Ooops! Don't tell! Please?

Haha, just kidding. I've been using some smileys, but that exercise helped me pay more attention to how often I did so, and I'm attempting to use them sparingly.

And, thank you. I'm glad to be back...sort of back, anyway....

I'll pray it all goes well.

Thank you, Jonathan!

My memory work is caught up on!

Thanks, y'all, for your encouragement about that whenever I talked to you!

I think I'm able to fully return to HW now...*hopes*

Good.

I hope you are.

Yaaaaayyy! I'm glad you made it (though not surprised) and happy to see you back.

Thanks so much!

I decided to change the title of this thread so that it can stay around and be useful to me here this summer. More and more busyness keeps popping up. Shall be updating as things draw nearer...

Dire news.

It's nice to have you back with us, Nicole.

Thank you, Elanor!

I won't be around much from now until Wednesday. I have a couple big projects going on this weekend, and Monday and Tuesday I'll be out of town.

I hope it goes well.

Thank you, Jonathan. It did go well.

I'm glad it did.

Still got lots of busyness ahead, Nicole? How's your summer going?

Yes, the rest of the summer looks like it will be busy. It's going well, though. Thank you for asking.

I'll be out of town again the weekend after this one.

Nice to see all your new posts around HW!

I'm glad you're enjoying the busyness.

It feels good to be posting again.

Lord willing, I'll be leaving tomorrow and will be gone through Sunday. For the past year, my family (most of it anyway--dad and older bro won't be able to make it this year) and I have been looking forward to attending the annual Scriptorium, a Scripture recitation weekend. After memorizing and reviewing the chapters we'll be quoting, we're all quite excited to be heading out tomorrow.

We'll get back home Sunday afternoon, just in time for our church meeting. At the end of the service, some very good friends of ours will be getting in town and staying the night at our house.

If all goes according to plan, I'll be gone tomorrow through Monday morning.
(Unless my current cold hinders things... )

God bless!

Bye, I hope you have a great and edifying time. (I certainly hope your cold doesn't hinder things ).

I hope you have a nice time at the Scriptorium, and that your cold gets better.

Thank you, Jeremiah & Jonathan!

The Scriptorium was awesome! We had a wonderful time--it was such a blessing!

And...I believe I'm done with this thread now! Yay!

WB. I'm glad y'all had a good time.

*grins* Thanks, Jonathan!

Welcome back! I'm glad it went well!



*ingests that information and what it means* ...

Thank you!

It means she'll be here more.

Indeed!

It means I'll get to be around you awesome people more!

And we'll get to be around an awesome person more.

So...

I return once more to my signing off thread. It's serving me well, apparently.

Summer has gone way differently than I expected. For one, this is due to Holy Worlds. I didn't expect to come across such a cool forum at the beginning of the summer and be able to spend my time building friendships with y'all. That's been awesome.

Summer has also been filled with a lot of busyness that I totally did not expect. Aaand, as this thread evidences, when I think I'm about through with it, something more comes up...(have an idea of what this is about?).

Yeppeth, you have guessed correctly. I'm busy again...except that this time, I'm even busier than the last times, pretty much.

I had a good talk with my parents this afternoon about plans for the future and what I want to be devoting my time to and pursuing. I think we came to some profitable conclusions, but they're not super easy. They'll take a lot of time and dedication if I want to actually follow through with them.

What will that look like? I'm going to be very non-existent for the month of August. Not entirely, but mostly. Basically, I'm planning to visit the chatroom on Friday nights, as well as keep up with PMs, but otherwise I won't be here.

I'll miss y'all, and look forward to chatting Friday nights, if you're here. Ah, and I'll be in chat later on tonight once I have my studying finished for the day.

God bless!

I miss you already, Amy darling. *hugs* (You're still going to be on Skype chat sometimes, right..?)
To tell the truth, I think you made the right decision, and I hope you get more sleep. My Ames needs her brains. *nodnod*

I hope your plans go well, Amy. We'll miss you.
