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.

Two years ago...

...ish...we were celebrating our first Thanksgiving without my dad. It was a rather subdued Thanksgiving. Still, though, we found plenty to be thankful for. Today, over on the Prism blog, you can see the layout I finally finished about it.  

So. How was your Thanksgiving this year? Ours was quiet but lovely. Just us, my brother and my niece. The boys had a blast playing with their cousin and battling their uncle on the Wii. We managed to have a dandy little feast (thank you, Super Target, for your lovely pre-made holiday meals that only required me to heat things up...about the extent of my cooking abilities, LOL). We have plenty of leftovers (didn't even make it to the pie yesterday!). And, in a bit, we're headed out to do a wee bit of shopping. :) Yup, life is good.
