THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Happy Pi Day!

DateSaturday, March 14, 2009 at 11:21AM

Yeah. I'm behind and owe folks tales of CKC in Portland and other such stuff. I'll get to it. Really. ;)

In the meantime, happy Pi Day to all! Yes. Today is the celebration of the mathematical constant...pi. Generally shortened to 3.14, pi finds its glory on March 14. Why do I mention this, you ask? Well, part of it is that I'm a geek and once memorized pi to like 26 places just for fun (my high school algebra teacher had this poster that went all the way around the room with pi's value and let's just say that I wasn't always listening to the lecture, lol). The larger part, though, is that today is the anniversary of the day Nathan and I met. Yes, 17 years ago today, Nathan walked into my life and I continue to be grateful. Combining these two things brings us this:

Yeah. I bought these matching shirts. I'm weird like that. :) (Oh, and the photo was taken by Noah and edited using Maggie Holmes' awesome simple color boost and warmer antique actions.)

So. Happy Pi Day! I'll be back later this weekend with all that other stuff...I'll even throw in a giveaway to make it worth the wait. :)
