**This is an email I sent to everyone I know pretty much, but posting here too**
Hey everyone! I've been really busy since school let out (Megan came to visit, a couple of Ivan's friends came to visit, I went to Lake Tahoe, my penpal is here visiting from Rhode Island, we went to the Grand Canyon yesterday and today we're in Sedona, then heading to Jerome---all of which has been fun, amazing, beautiful!) and....drumroll.... Saturday I leave for South Africa! So this is my "goodbye" email, although I will be blogging and posting pictures I'm thinking pretty much as things happen so you'll never know I'm gone :)
The blog address is in green at the bottom of this email, check there if you want any updates. I might mass email a couple times but I will definitely be writing on there, and putting links to pictures there too. I have Skype on my computer so I can still call for cheap, but you know, those calls will likely be reserved for Ivan & family :) I won't be using my cell, but I'll be checking messages so you can totally leave a message if you want me to call you or to be funny :) haha Here's the link to the organization I'm going with if you want to check it out www.aviva-sa.com and here's the link to the orphanage itself www.homeofhope.co.za
Anyway, I guess that's all. Wish me luck!!!
