Well...I never really felt like there was a good time to mention this, so I've just been kinda hiding it for a while...guess I should at least tell you guys soon... My dad was laid off a few months ago from corporate downsizing at Intuit. We spent several months looking for jobs, but could not find anything. We were going to be on the streets within a month or two if we did not find a source of income, so when my dad did eventually find a job that could support us...it was in Dallas, Texas. We didn't really have much of a choice, so we had to take it. We just sold the house, and are moving out. Expedia (my dad's new job), is paying for corporate housing here in California so we can find a new house in Texas. I will probably be able to finish out the school year, or at least stay until around the last or second to last week. We just moved into the corporate housing today, and I decided it was finally time to tell some people. So when I mentioned that I would be out of town over the Summer at the officers meeting...well..yeah....I technically didn't really lie... Just had to start getting the word out, I had a friend of mine move over the Summer, and I didn't even know he left until school started. Now I see how he felt though, and I see how he may have not been able to tell us, its actually kinda hard to tell people, maybe because it means admitting to myself and explaining a story I don't want to talk about over and over again. I thought I should at least let some people know, sorry if it seems rude that I'm not talking about this face to face, its just hard to explain it to like 30 different people... :"( :"( :"(

Aw no. I'm sorry Kevin. Maybe we should do something special before you leave, like a party, except we always have those. Anyway, I'm sure when everyone reads this they'll be sending you *virtual hugs*, so maybe that will help a bit.

Now who's going to convince the chickens that they need to join our side when we take over the world? >_< You can't go!!!
Awwww....Kevin! No.... I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. We're going to miss you so much.
This is really sad. Thank you for letting us know. There's know easy way to tell us something like this. You're very brave and amazing. I mean it. Truly. Wow. I'm still in shock.
We are definitely throwing you a party. It's won't be a good-bye party though. It's going to be a Celebrate Kevin (and the Swiss) Party! We'll have chickens AND spleens (can you buy them at the supermarket?) and livers, and hearts, and everything. awww....Kevin! T.T
Would you like me to make an announcement to the club? I'm so sad... awwww...Kevin! T.T *hugs*

Aw, you'll be missed Kevin! Have fun in Texas however! (Free range chickens?)
Dallas is a good city.
You guys should indeed throw a "Celebrate Kevin" party. Good bye parties are stupid.

So...it's actually happening and for sure now? *tear* T.T T-T *sniffle*
Now what'll we do??? Have you...told Dmitri yet? *smile*
Well...let's see...it's April right now...so...May...June...there are ONLY 2 more months left of crazy chickens and spleens?! *shock* No!
Well...BEFORE that...what would you like to do, Kevin? Would you like, as Heidi says, a "Celebrating Kevin" party? Golfland? Pool? 'Cuz those never really happened... Or...should we do something totally RANDOM and surprising? What about...a surprise party? :P Not really new...but they're still fun. :P
What if...we all...STALKED YOU?! Or...broke into your house one day, so when you got back...there'd be a whole bunch of random cult members in your house?
We can...go to Chuck E. Cheese?
KEVIN!!! You HAVE GOT TO STAY at least for the SANTA CRUZ trip!!!!! YOU HAVE TO! It's LOADS of fun! We can plan it for the beginning of summer, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE THERE!!!! They have that rubber chicken game...
You probably already know this, but we'll REALLY, REALLY miss you when you're gone. You HAD BETTER STAY IN TOUCH. No matter what, you'd better go on HH Chat at least once a week, and you'd better keep your SocialVibe up to date, and you should write us letters. *smile* Just so we can write you back. :P
VISIT us too. You have to come to Charity Ball next year, alright? We'll DEFINITELY get Charity Ball on a Saturday, just for you. :) So, keep in touch after you're all settled and everything, 'kay?
But...until then...back to the happy fun randomness!!!
Gotta go post that puzzle for this month now... :P

Aw no. Speaking of stalking, I think strangely enough I will miss you standing outside my house staring into the windows, Kevin. And I won't look behind me as much. Sad, isn't it. Oh and hey, I've got to go post the ANSWER for this month now... ;P

lolz
We should have a Chicken/Spleen themed party...or maybe just Chicken themed...the "spleen" portion might be kinda hard...
We could do like Chemistry!!! IRON CHIEF!!!!!!! Yeah!!! The "secret ingredient" will have to be chicken, of course. :P
I think it'll be fun. We should do it!!!! All the food has to have some kind of chicken in it...like..actual chicken, or be chicken flavored, or at least be chicken shaped. :P Except, the drinks are special, of course. :P Chicken flavored drinks? No thanks. :P
But, YEAH. Chicken themed party. :D :D :D It can even be slightly swiss...desert will be a big old chicken shaped cake and everything!!! We should do it!!!!
Too late. It's PLANNED for already! lolz. Unless...Kevin has any objections/suggestions or wants to do something else. :P

Thanks for the support. The good news is that since my dad's new job is at Expedia, we get discounted plane tickets And my older brother still lives here, so I can stay with him once in a while.

So...like...once a month...we'll have a..."WELCOME BACK KEVIN!!!" Party? *smile*
We'll have to have events every weekend/holiday...not like we don't already... :P
Kevin! You can start another Helping Humanity Club in Texas, and we can be all cool like that. :) Kevin will take over Texas, and Kelly will take over California...then...slowly...like a disease...Kelly can head east and Kevin can head west, until we've got most of the US taken over. :)
lolz
Kevin...you should fill out an Officer Application, and be an officer next year. :) So you have another excuse to visit us every month or so. *smile*
You could create your own position and be a... _________ (IDK...traveling? Swiss? HHC?) AMBASSADOR! :)

...if the secret ingredient is chicken, does it HAVE to be the physical form of it?

I was thinking "chicken themed" and then it turned into "Iron Chief Chicken," but an Iron Chief with chicken as the secret ingredient would be rather...EW...dessert (one "s" or two?)...
...so...I'm thinking we can have an Iron Chief COMPETITION (like, we all "submit" a dish with chicken in it, vote on the "best" dish, and winner gets a "prize"), but the party should just be chicken themed, so we can do chicken shaped cookies/cakes/etc. for desert (so at least I spelled it right once). :P
lolz
Next year, we're going to have to have a new thread called..."Kevin," or... "Mildred," or something of the sort, for when he's coming back, so we can plan randomness. :)
lolz..."Welcome Back" parties. :)
