Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

I left KZ after one year in 2001 and returned to Minneapolis, MN, where I had been living for about 3 years. I was married in 2002 to Aaron Leventhal. Upon my return to the U.S. I got a job working for a child and family services agency in International adoption. I helped families adopt children from Russia and Kazakstan. I was able to travel to Russia but became pregnant before I was able to travel back to Kazakstan. After having my first child I quit work to stay home. That was in November of 2004. I just had my second child this past August of 2006. I am still home with both kids.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

Sometimes its hard to believe it was so long ago already.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Jenny Lyons, Gwyneth, and Mathew Cohen.
