(My friends and I celebrating our birthdays in May 2019)
My life has been the same. I've been working at the same non-profit which is the Pitt Meadows Museum. I absolutely love it, and I wish that I could do it full time, but the joys of non-profits are that they never have all the funding you wish they would have. I got to write an article for our local newspaper ( https://www.mapleridgenews.com/community/looking-back-wellington-harris-lent-his-name-to-pitt-meadows-road/ ), I mostly run the museums facebook page writing the Memory Lane Mondays and the Artifact Out of the Box posts, I help run the Museum Sunday program which is where we get to do crafts with little kids, and I get to do all the scanning, accessioning, and other daily museum tasks that need to be done. Damn, does the Morrin Centre wish they had me as their volunteer now?!
My family life has been crazy too. My twin got married to my best friend and graduated university, my sister had a baby, my brother proposed to his long-time girlfriend. Babies and relationships are still waiting for me in the horizon I hope, but I have to work on myself first. I also have to improve my self worth as well.
The Katimavik family has had a lot of crazy things happen, baby, proposals, all of that good stuff. Haven't been fully part of it except via facebook. I wish we were more talkative but we aren't, that okay I suppose.
I was thinking what I could do to have my blog be more positive, and for me to think about all the good things that have happened to me. When I found the weird ten year challenge it made me realize that I have done a lot in the past decade.

What have I done in the past decade?
-Participated in the Coquitlam Outdoor School Term (C.O.A.S.T.) where we did things like camping trips (including winter camping), a biking trip where we did 60 km in a day?!, hiking the Devils Staircase, ocean kayaking, Canoeing the circuit of Bowron Lakes, being a summer camp leader-2009
-Graduated High school with honours-2011
-Participated in this crazy program called Katimavik - 2011
-Worked at SnotroH Mit for four years to pay off the majority of my degree - 2012-2016
-Graduated University with a degree in History and concentration in British Studies-2017
-Worked at the Pitt Meadows Museum and Archives - 2016-currently
There has also been countless other adventures that I couldn't even start to name and describe. 2009 me was 15/16 years old looking onto the expanse that was my future and had barely even started dreaming of Katimavik. I didn't know where I wanted to go or do, now I know what I want to do with my life and have my foot in the door (MUSEUMS!!). I mean the other pro is that my face finally figured out it didn't want to be a pizza anymore 😂. I still have a lot of learning and growing to be and 2009 Keagan would hopefully be proud of me? I want to keep getting better and being the better version of myself. It takes a lot of effort but in the end it will be worth bettering myself.
Onwards to 2020!
