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.

My Valentine

Nathan knows me so well. :)

Rather than making a big deal out of Valentine's Day, which I don't really like anyhow...and rather than flowers or candy (okay, I may have asked him to get me some chocolates earlier this week but that was unrelated, lol)...Nathan took me to our favorite local shoe store (that happened to be having a big sale this weekend...yay!) and encouraged me to bring home these lovely shoes:

(It's hard to tell from the picture, but they're a lovely olive-y green...a shade I don't already have in shoes/boots.)

Yup. That's my kind of (early) Valentine. :)
