NOLA for the New Year...

Goodbye 2010.  Welcome 2011!

We rang in the new year in New Orleans.  We roamed the town, ate good food and visited friends.  

Happy Christmas!

We spent Christmas with Jim's family in Western North Carolina.  We woke up to snow falling Christmas morning :o) and it just kept coming.  It made for a very special day.  We enjoyed spending
 time with family and making new memories.  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

All Things Archaeology

It has been awhile since our last post.  I have been without a day off since Thanksgiving and just returned from Perdido Key near Pensacola.  I LOVE my new job and still can't believe that I am a working archaeologist!  I have been performing shovel tests every 25m along beaches that were effected by the Deep Horizon Oil Spill and have known cultural sites.  My day involves hanging out on a beautiful beach, digging holes that look like this:

BIG news!

Yesterday, I received a job offer (out of the blue) from a company called Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc.  They offered me the position of Project Archaeologist and I accepted!  I started my training today :o)  It is a happy day at the Keith hacienda!

An Eternity Together...

Soul mates FOREVER!

Happy Halloween!

Jim and I ran the Tricker Trek 10k this morning.  We had a great time!  I ran in costume(and won the costume contest)...

We both set PR's!

AND we both won 4th place in our age groups!

Hope everyone has a Happy and safe Halloween!

Something Smells Fishy...

It's been awhile since we've updated the blog.  We went to Mullet Festival in Niceville this weekend...it was a blast, as always.  Jim and I have been catching a LOT of crabs off of the back dock in our crab traps.  We have been steaming them and picking them over.  Jim even made seafood jumbo with some fresh crab meat...YUM!  We have toned back our running schedule since both of us have injuries :o(.  We are hoping to do the Tricker Trek 10k on October 30.  It should be fun, as you run in your Halloween costumes!  We finally rode the Ferris wheel at Pier Park.  We have been eyeing it since we moved to Panama City.  On our impromptu date night we got snowballs and took a ride!  The city lights at twilight over the beach was a terrific and romantic sight!  I have been volunteering with the Environmental office on the Navy base.  We are doing a shoreline restoration project to protect some valuable archaeological sites from damage due to erosion.  It's been fun and I've met some really nice people.  We have had some really wonderful fall weather lately, but we're not looking forward to the cold winter.
