The Adventure Begins...

Hi Everyone,

As you all know I have the great opportunity to travel/volunteer for the next 5 months abroad mostly in Eastern Europe (particularly Romania) and Ethiopia. I can not even begin to tell you how excited I am and can not believe that I leave in just a matter of hours...If you would like to catch my updates, I will be doing my best to consistently write here and post pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/ashley.laurenlevine. Also, I now officially have a skype name/address which is ashleylevine. I still haven't been able to figure out how it works, so any directions or hints would be greatly appreciated! (I will have consistent internet at the Tanner Romania Mission...everywhere else is up in the air)

Lastly, I would love to send friends and family postcards but unfortunately I do not have anyone's address. If you would like a postcard at all please email me your address :)

Thank you for all your support and prayers,
Ashley Levine
