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.

Notes.

Posting today from Steamboat Springs, CO...on vacation with my guys and Nathan's parents. We're having a dandy time. :) Didn't remember to bring the ability to upload photos to this computer, so you'll have to wait. In the meantime, a few things before they get lost in the shuffle of catching up when we get home.

Please take a moment, first, to say a little prayer for my Uncle Matt...who died Tuesday following open heart surgery (they were trying to correct a stint and add another). It came as quite a surprise, as the operation was deemed "routine." Uncle Matt was my godfather and my oldest uncle on my dad's side of the family. He will definitely be missed and I'm sad that I won't make it home for the services.

Switching gears now, please check out the Prism blog today for a layout by moi. Sorry. I forgot to set up a sneak peek dealio before I left home, so don't have that image with me.

Micah, after celebrating his birthday last week, has taken to referring to himself as a "four year old Noah" for reasons unknown. He cracks us up.

I guess that was pretty much it. Lots of great photos to share when I get home and get them sorted. Happy start of August to you all!
