Jillian is loving her job and regarding her coffee shop job. The boss there didn't want to lose her completely and ask her to work twice a month. Jillian was excited about this as she loves it there as well. Jillian finished her Chemistry class, which she finished with an A. Jillian didn't even study for the last exam. Being married to a genius is very humbling. Jillian is looking at this new job as a career and has put the idea of school teaching on a very extended hold.
Me personally I have had a project come to an end. I was ask to create a four posters to put into napkin dispensers for the movie theater I work at. I was given real freedom with the project and and was very happy with the out come.
Over the last year I have been skating this local skate park and have been a few rad little kindships. Which leads me into a two stories.
1.
I have tried to get skateboard lesson's happening at the skatepark before. But to no avail.
But over the last six months there has been a 4 year kid there Braydon rolling around on a scooter.
Well early on Braydon asked me to borrow my skate board and as I am usually carrying a spare or two for this exact reason. I let him borrow the spare one. Braydon and his Mum were always grateful.
Braydon's Mom Deanna and I were talking a couple of weeks ago about kids needing lesson's and I told her the story of me trying to get free lessons started there and how it came to no avail.
And Braydon's Mom quickly said that she would love to have me teach Braydon skating. So yesterday we meet up for a half an hour skate lesson. It was so much fun. Braydon learned how to push and put his feet back on. do many kick turns. He has a natural ability.
Braydon and his Mum Deanna were very grateful and I was very stoked to be able to teach skateboarding again.

So I spoke about this in past blogs that I am trying to get skateboards together for underprivileged children Skateboards for Christmas.
Well I have had a huge response from a fair few people. It is looking like I am going to have over ten boards to give away. I am mad excited about this and I am a very grateful for everyone that is helping out. I just wanna give a big shout out to the local kirkland skaters who jumped on board without hesitation. thanks guys and girls.
I finished my flash class. That program still blows me away. I have two weeks off and start back up TAing on the 30th of Sept and a 10 week typography class on the starting on the 1st of october.
Jillian and I are lucky enough to have surrounded ourselves with great friends over here. And in the last post I spoke about going to hang out with a bunch of them on Camano Island. It was a very windy and wet weekend. though that didn't stop the fun. There was crabbing, movies, games, drinks, food and more food. Our friend Laura's parents hosted us all weekend. A big shout out to Nancy and Bob woot woot!!!!
We also got to catch up with friends for coffee and Another set of friends for a beer in the last week. These interactions make me feel more at home as time goes on....
We have had little news on the house, but what we have had was all good son....

I hope you all are doing well and I can not wait to hear from you cats, you dig!!
