I leave for the mission in two days. Eeps!
This is all going to sound a tad bit involved, but really, it's NOT. Just trust me on this.
Here's the sitch. On my mission, I'll be able to email home and write letters on my Preparation Day. If you'd like to be a part of the weekly email, then you need to send an email to gretchengoestocanada at gmail dot com, with the appropriate symbols switched in for the at and dot. Say something like "subscribe" in the subject line. The email will be sent out with that fancy-schmancy BCC technology, so no one will be able to see your address. Holla for safety! My dad will be forwarding on that email, so if you ever want to unsubscribe (and heaven only knows why you would) then just send an email to the same address with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line and he'll take you off the list. The emails themselves will hopefully have some really good stories and they're going to be funny, but they're also going to be very religious-y. Just so you know. It should be a really interesting way to get the full scope of my experience/spiritual journey. No pressure to sign up, but there's the info for those of you that have asked.
The next way is to just keep up with this blog. Again, my dad is taking care of it so I have no way to guarantee how frequently it will be updated or if he'll even do anything with it after a month. It'll have email snippets, amusing things from the letters I write, and possibly even pictures. It's not going to be under my jurisdiction AT ALL for this next year and a half--I trust my dad completely with it, though, and how many bloggers can say that? Keep it on your readers because I will be back at this domain come September 2010 and that's a promise.
Thirdly, I'd love to hear from you guys via the written word, if you feel so inclined. I've got the main address listed on my facebook page. If you'd like to be added to my address book, then shoot me an email with your address and I promise not to stalk you. Instead, I'll send you a letter at some point during my mission and who doesn't love getting mail?
Okay, I hope that all makes sense because I'm writing this kinda late at night. If you have any questions, let me know. More mission-y stuff to come....

I can't believe you're leaving in 2 days! How exciting!
Wishing you a wonderful experience!
P.S. Is there any way you could whip out a Top Ten List before you're gone??? :)
I hope that I am still alive and well in September 2010, because I think school might actually kill me. Pray for me please, Gretchen, because I'm pretty sure you have some pull with the Big Guy Upstairs. Um, yeah, but seriously, good luck (and I selfishly can't wait for you to get back.)
Wow, I'm gonna miss your blogs (and your tumbls). I hope you have an amazing experience!
That is so crazy that you are leaving already! Good luck and have a lot of fun! :)
This is just so cool, and also very scary. But have an awesome time! I'll be praying for you. :)
Duly noted, gratias!
Um Who is going to give me the play by play of The Office? I'm guessing your dad won't be. Even though I faithfully watch the show, I still go and read your recaps.
I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I live here in Canada. It's a rockin cool place, I promise.
Gretchen, we have just moved on to a new stage in our relationship when you will INVITE ME OVER TO MEET THE P-DUB!! Even if it's only in dream form, I about died with excitement with just the thought of it. And for the cooking... I would hire a professional chef to teach me something, then pretend I'm really just.that.good. And then we'd be come BFFS (you, me, and PW) and we'd go to the ranch and bond over hilarious jokes and the internet. {sigh}
love you girly. good luck, and i'll be sure to update you on our adventures. :) OOOhhh Canada!
I just realized we dont have each other on facebook! I want to send you a letter but I need your address!
