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.

Yikes! It's June.

Okay, fess up. Who made it June already? I'm not quite sure how that happened. :) At the same time, of course, it feels like forever ago when we ushered in the new year. So much has been going on. Wow. Am I the only one who does a little taking stock at the end/start of each month? (Yes, I realize this is a wee bit late...trust me that I did my stock taking a few days ago, okay?) May, by the way, was magnificent. Lots of good stuff happening in our lives here and summer's definitely on its way...a little sad to say goodbye to May. But, look what June has brought already:

These pictures were taken yesterday (Sunday) at our homeschool group end of year picnic (with my new camera...yay!...still learning but it's gonna be goooood). It was great fun...egg relays, three legged races, autographing shirts, and even some water balloons. I'm looking forward to more outings like this!

Just before this picnic, the boys got haircuts. It's always a little sad to me when that happens. They come out looking older every darn time. I'm getting more used to the change that occurs in Noah and Asher but Micah just looked so much older this time around! We think he's officially moved from "sweet baby" to "handsome little boy" mode.

Did some more scrapping today...stuff for the Those Were The Days fabulous June kit and then had my monthly design team meeting at The Treasure Box here locally. Can't share stuff from the TWTD kit yet and don't keep the stuff from the Treasure Box, but it was fun playing with all the awesome products! On that note, can't believe CKU Anaheim is already NEXT WEEK! Yikes! So looking forward to it but feeling a little overwhelmed by the preparations I have yet to do. ;) Guess I should go make a list...
