Life is like a roller-coaster baby......
If life was a roller-coaster Jillian and I would be inthe part that's up down and side side. The part where you feel like you may be sick, but it is so good you don't want it to stop.
So as you all know Jillian and I are in the process of buying a house. And you all know that Jillian lost her job. We have not heard anything on the house but that was expected.
What was not expected was Jillian to receive two jobs in one week. One was with the company she currently worked for. They were very very nice and kind of made a position for Jillian. Which she was super excited about. Then on the day Jillian accepted the job her sister Natalie called her to tell her a position at her company had opened up and that Jillian would be a perfect fit for it. Jillian was over the moon and also torn. Long story short, Jillian had a few meetings the next day at Natalie's work and took the job. It pays well, it has great people to work with and the company treats its employees very very well.
Jillian finishes at current job on Friday the 21st and starts her new job on Monday the 24th.
all very exciting.
Jillian and I had Thomas (Jillian's cousin) down for a few days. It was mad fun, Thomas and I got to go skating a bunch(Thomas learned 4 new tricks), play video games and create some art.
here is a sample of Thomas's skateboarding...

Well Well well...
It has been a very long couple of months or so (more on the so side I would say)with all the ups and downs Team Mitchell has faced.
And to add to the pressure I have been working on my website www.matty3stars.com . It has been a long tedious road, Though I am happy with end product and the many learning experiences I have en-counted. But those who know me best know that I am usually ready for the next personal project before my last personal one is over. I have already been planning my next creative piece and my next project.
Speaking of my next project I am trying to get to a bunch of second hand skateboards together. So I can give them away at Christmas to kids that more than likely wont have access to getting one. I don't know exactly what kids yet, but I have been speaking to a guy that works for a boys and girls club who also works closely with some kids who are really in poverty.
Locals at the skate park have already said they would love to donate their second hand gear. I am going to approach a few skate shops to see if they will donate anything. or if their sponsors will.
I have also approached a newspaper about doing an article on the process, so the local skaters and the shops will get a little shout out will shedding a little bit of good light on skateboarding.
If anyone want to help in this process please email me or call me or what you would like to do to help is alright be this cat.
Well that is it for now,

UM Wow...
Home Sweet Home…Next Door to the In-Laws
So it just so happens that the little house next door to Mama Bill's and Big Poppa's (Jillian's parents) house came up for sale. However, it was even more of a special opportunity because it is on the market for a significant amount less than what it is worth.This is because the people who currently live there can no longer afford the house, and would go into foreclosure if they didn’t sell it for less than what they owe to the bank. This is called a “short sale” in the real estate lingo we have come to find out.
Jillian and I were astounded on how cheap this was, but new that it was still unrealistic for us at this point. So we let the dream go.
Big Poppa and Momma Bill had other something else in mind.
We received a phone call from Big Poppa at 10pm one night last week asking us to come straight over. After a nervous car ride over going over what this could be about, Jillian and I get there and are almost immediately asked to sit down.
Big Poppa and Momma Bill talk about what they would like to do and it just happens to be that they want to help us get into this great deal.
Jillian and I were blown away by this generosity(and still are). We had to make a quick decision due to the circumstances. So Jillian and I went for a walk and voiced the pro's and con's of the situation. Verdict... the pro's had it.
We decided to take advantage of the deal. We put an offer on the house the next day (along with 10 other people, one who put quite a larger some than we did), but the sellers chose us! Now don’t get too excited because now comes the hard part.
The bank has to approve the sale of the house for less than what the sellers owe on the house. This process takes about 6 months, however banks prefer this to foreclosures usually because that is such an expensive process. So, now we are just waiting to find out if it is a go-ahead. The Realtor who was working on the house said that there will be a bit of dinking back and forth with the bank, but it looks good.
I would Just like to thank a few people who made this possible and who put a lot of effort into it.
Big Poppa, Momma Bill, Grandma Price and Kevin Price. Thank you for everything you all have done....
I will keep you all up to date on the happening's.
