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.

Wishes...

Just a few wishes I have right now...

1. That drivers would accelerate in the acceleration lanes/ramps such that they achieve a speed within 20 mph of the speed limit *before* I have to merge into traffic. (Sorry. I wasn't going to say anything, but it's happened every day now on my way to and from Noah's soccer camp and is starting to get on my nerves, LOL!)

2. That I could be at the summer CHA show in Florida right now so I could heckle the lovely Prism booth folks. I suppose I'll have to be happy that I made it to the winter show in January and that this layout of mine is at the Prism booth on my behalf:


3. That my baby would stop growing up. Micah turns FOUR tomorrow. Dude. (More on this tomorrow, I'm sure.)

4. That I had another week or two of summer. I know it's not over yet, but I'm already feeling the "I'm running out of time to do the stuff I said I was going to do this summer" woes. :) Oh well.

What do you wish right now? ;)

(1) We must be kindred driving sisters! LOL! I'd like to know whose "bright" idea it was to put signal lights on on-ramps....
(2) awesome layout!
(3) Already?!?!? Where does the time go? Happy birthday, Micah!
(4) Am torn since I want cooler weather but seems like we just got out for summer vacation. LOL!

Hmmmm, I wish that we had a/c. DUH!

I wish, like you, that summer hadn't passed so quickly. I also wish that the four-day weekends were the norm. :)

Amanda, I was going to do that weaving for the texture challenge!! I would like to say great minds think alike, but my mind is nowhere as great as yours, I'll just say, master does it first, hee hee :) I mean HOF'er does it first, LOL.
