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, happy to all!

Plenty of stuff today.

First of all, happy anniversary to the love of my life! I am seriously so very, very blessed. I'm not, though, feeling all mushy at the moment so won't list off all the reasons I love you...not that they would fit here anyhow. Quick, Nathan, how many years have we been married? ;) I'll give you a big ol' hint:

Love this quote. It's so very true and fits so well to our married life. Looking forward (with you) to the many years to come! 

Incidentally, this is also my very first ever fully digital layout!! (Woohoo! Dude, I can so see how this could be addicting! And a round of applause for the wondrosity to be had at both Little Dreamer Designs and Designer Digitals...stinkin' cool sites!)

Next, I want to send out happy birthday wishes to my awesome friends Tiffany and Sarah! Have a great one ladies!! 

Also, happy birthday (a day late) to my youngest niece, Makenna! Turning two is terrific!

And, because I know you're wondering...we've been having a great time here this week. Went sledding yesterday and had a spectacular fun time (though we could have done without the blustering cold wind). Here are a few of my favs:

Oh my goodness, you should have seen how excited Micah was about the whole thing! Course, he was also obviously the most bundled of us and managed to stay fully warm. Still, good times.

Well, that was all for now. Hope everyone has a fabulous New Year's Eve...even if it's not your anniversary or birthday! ;)

I love it!!! First off I love the pictures and the simplicity too. And the tiny pic for us to 'voyeur' at is sweet. Happy Anniversary to you both! May next year be all that and then some. And please, could you send me some snow? No, not in the form of a snowball but at least still some snow. :D
