Hey everybody! Things are very “up in the air” right now, however, I will be moving to Belize soon. Probably within the next 3 months. My question is does Edufire have an “out of the office” (lol! You know what I mean…) automated response that can go to people? I’m imagining with the insane move I won’t have time to be online for at least a week.

Anywho, you can all cheer me up now! It’s a very awful and stressful situation because we weren’t planning to move.

Aw I’m sorry. I know this must be crazy! I’m choosing to go fro a year, but for something like that to just sorta happen…I couldn’t imagine! Just think about the silver lining though. I’m sure there are a lot of awesome opportunities to take hold of in Belize! Just stay positive and everything will be alright. In the meantime I’m sure I can speak for the rest of us and say that we’ll miss you so hurry back! Good luck and keep us updated!

Hi Raquel! I am sorry for your stressful time :( Keep us updated on what happens.
As for the ‘out of the office’ stuff. You can change your profile to say when you will be back etc.

And just think Raquel – we are a “portable” circle of friends, so no matter what, you will still have us! :)

Hey thanks everybody! Like I said, it won’t be for a few months but man…there is alot to do! Thanks Kurt, so much. I definately know everything happens for a reason and I honestly wouldn’t mind being on the beach in Belize for awhile!

And yes, Sandra, I am so glad you are my portable friends!! It’s awesome!

Oh my gosh, Debbie, I’m a dork sometimes, why didn’t I think of that!

Hamdy! Wow! You must be able to yell really loud! LOL!!!!!

You are not a dork!! lol
We will keep your place warm here while you are gone although I think some of us fancy a little time on the beach also. Beach rotation anyone? :)

Sorry for not getting to this earlier. One thing we do have is “hiatus” status where your profile is still on our site but people cannot schedule lessons with you or send you any messages. It’s great for situations like these. :)

Just let me or Ryan know if/when you’d like to go on hiatus.

Thanks for the good wishes Stephanie! I’ll be ok…it’s just a pain to sell all you own, the condo in this LOVELY economy right now…sigh…I’ll keep thinking of the beach and the waves and it makes everything better! Plus all the support from my new Edufire friends….seriously you’ve all touched my heart…THANKS!
