I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for making blogging so fun for me. Sometimes my hobbies don't tend to stick, but it's the interwebs community that made me hang on to this incredible, tenuous, and lovely form of communication. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment and letting me into your life as well. As cheesy as it sounds, I know I've made friendships that are going to last for a lifetime. You've touched my life and I'm pretty sure I've touched yours.
Even though I'm going to miss all of my worldly pleasures something fierce, I've got such a conviction and assurance about what I'm going out to do. I'm thrilled to be able to go out and share what I know is true. I love my religion beyond everything else and I believe that through my God, I'm going to help change lives. (And by the same token, my life is going to change irrevocably and I positively can't wait for that.) The mission is going to be challenging and stressful and I know there are going to be times when I question my choice, but I've decided that I'm going to focus on the good that I find. I am so ready to go and fall in love with Canada and the Canadians.
In short, thank you for being a friend. I'll think of you all often and I hope you keep in touch. I'll be back before you know it.
Ciao!

Gretchen, I hope your mission is everything good in the world; you definitely deserve it. I'm so glad we've been able to keep in touch over the years, and look forward to hearing about your Canadian adventures. Good luck!
Sniff, I'm all teary eyed! I seriously love your blog and don't know what I'm going to do for the next year and a half. I know you'll be a huge hit with the Canadians!
