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.

Four on Friday

1. On Monday, before the Options program I already discussed, Noah had his three finals for the semester. He's since heard back on all of his grades and earned straight A's for the fall. He's now on break and quite happy about it. (He'll have one high school requirement class at CEC that will start on January 6, and his three college classes at Front Range Community College will begin on January 18. So, yeah, he has a good bit of a break.)

2. With Noah on break, he joined his brothers on Wednesday to swim laps at the pool. When we arrived, all of the lanes in the indoor pool were occupied. The boys begrudgingly hopped in the outdoor pool (the day's high temperature was in the 20s, though the pool is somewhat heated):

Fortunately, though, the indoor lanes opened up after about 15 minutes and we promptly switched to that. :)

3. Though we're still homeschooling this week and next, we had a bit more time this week (thanks to not needing to drive Noah back and forth to FRCC, lol)...enough that the boys managed to binge watch all of The White Rabbit Project on Netflix. It stars the build team from Mythbusters, and we were happy to see them again.

4. In Christmas news, we're still making progress here. I'm hoping that come Christmas I'll be fully ready for it, lol. ;)

In the meantime, I'll just keep plugging away here and trying to get things done. You're probably doing the same. :) Have fun!
