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.

Eight.

Oh my heck. My baby is eight today. Okay,  he's not a baby any more. I know that. I do. :) As Nathan pointed out today, though, he's half way to driving now. Oy.

Sigh. I guess I'll just be happy for my beautiful, birthday boy. :) We're not doing much today beyond some cupcakes and a small family gathering...his party with his friends will be next Saturday. I did, though, manage to get some pictures. Before long, he was really getting into the spirit of things and telling me what pictures to take. Here's an example:

(Yes, that's Micah in the background...taking pictures of his own, lol.) What a silly kid. It's been so much fun thus far watching him become more sure of himself...more silly...more brilliant. Can't wait to see what's to come!

Incidentally, today marks the eight year mark for becoming a parent for me. Kinda weird to think about. Wow. And, today is also the three year anniversary of Nathan starting his business. I'm so proud of him! Serious kudos, when you think about it, for managing to be a technology start up that's still in business and growing after three years, particularly in today's economy. I am so blessed.

So. Big day around here. :)
