Recent Work (08/21/13)

Alright, prepare yourself for a HUGE post.

The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy.

I moved again.

So, after a month of working in Emporia, Kan., I was offered a job at the Argus Leader in Sioux Falls, S.D. It's half the distance away from home and in a much larger city. Win-win in my book.

The last few weeks have been full of moving, looking for apartments, starting a new job, and spending a little time with family.

This post is super full of photos, though.

I've got photos from my first week at the Argus, my last couple days in Emporia, and some photos from Bemidji.

Enjoy, it's a full one.
