Welcome

I know I have told a lot of people that I would be posting pictures from the various trips I have taken recently on our website. Well, I finally did it after having the site for nearly nine months now.

There are pictures of my trip to Belgium during Spring Break of last year. The journal and photos from the trip Knifer and I took to Korea are finally posted. After we got back from Korea, Knifer and I took a road trip through the Southwest before driving up to Seattle. Quite soon after I got to Seattle, I bought a house, which I had been hoping to do, but did not really expect to happen so quickly. Finally, there are some pictures from a trip I took with some friends to Mt. Rainier and some other miscellaneous pictures I have taken since I got to Seattle.

These last few months have involved lots of changes for Knifer and me. Graduating from school, moving to Seattle, buying a house, and starting work full time. There are many parts of the transition that have been incredibly exciting, and there are many days that are tough. In the past, I have not done the greatest job keeping in touch with friends. This time, I hope to do a better job. That was one of my intentions for this site; to keep old friends (and new ones) informed about what is going on with me. Now that I have gotten all of this stuff up, I will be keeping the site up to date. I promise. Really I do. My plan, at least for now, is to use this site like a journal (or a blog I guess), rather than sending out tons of mass emails.

I had grand plans to build a discussion board for this site, but at this point, I don't think that is going to happen. After spending all day at work in front of a computer, I have very little desire to come home and do more of the same. Maybe someday I will get around to it, but I don't think it will be any time soon.

I hope you enjoy the journals and pictures. Feel free to email me at damon@gilkersong.com if you have any questions or comments. (I know this is not the email many of you have, but I do not want to post the other email online because I don't want to start getting tons of spam. Feel free to use either one.)
