There have been some big changes since I last posted here.

Last week, I was approached with a job offer for the Lead Archivist position. The Lead Archivist’s job is to organize and catalog all the media that is used or made by VOM staff. This is a full-time job, and one that will require my permanent residence in Oklahoma. After some prayer, I accepted the job and will begin a two-month training and evaluation period starting tomorrow.

When I was first approached, I raised two concerns I’ve had for some time, should I ever be asked to stay: I didn’t have enough money for a home, and I didn’t have enough money for a car.

VOM has given me permission to remain in the VOM apartments for now, as I save money for an apartment. VOM has also loaned me one of their old company cars, a white 1991 Nissan Maxima (148,000 miles), which they were planning to retire from their fleet, and plan to eventually give me the car after I earn enough money to pay for the insurance and taxes.

I have been reeling from the news for days now, and am still somewhat of a nervous wreck from the new responsibilities. I am very blessed, and thank the Lord for the opportunities I have been given in Oklahoma, and am excited to learn what more will happen for me.

My roommate is set to return to South Korea on May 7. I will miss him dearly, but hope to see him again some day in South Korea. I hope to keep in touch with him. He has become a very close friend, and a great brother in Christ.

I will be traveling on May 4 to St. Louis to watch my first baseball game with a coworker and my roommate. I figure the game will bore me to tears, but the time with friends will make it entertaining and worthwhile.

The next few months will be very busy for me, with only more responsibility adding on to my list as time goes on. I hope to at least keep the same update schedule on this page as I have so far, as horrible of an update schedule as it has been.

Today’s Image is yet another horizon photo, but the sunsets in Oklahoma are too amazing to pass up. The wind may be horrible, and the spiders as big as one’s fist, but the sunsets are awesome.
