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.

Ooooh. Aaaaah.

Boys are finally in bed (okay, a bit ago), but it was worth letting them stay up late to see this:

Yup. Total lunar eclipse. It was cool! This picture doesn't do it justice. It was fascinating to watch it become shadowed and then turn red (this is actually taken before it was at its peak). But. It's pretty good for having been taken with Nathan's iPhone through the viewfinder on our (inexpensive) telescope. ;) What a nice way to officially start winter...

Lucky you! We have a cover of snow clouds, so the moon wasn't even visible from here.
