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.

While you're waiting...

...for me to get my act together and finish editing vacation photos and all, allow me to share with you a few random things:

- The other day Micah randomly asked me "how many more days until the early future?" How does one answer that? Seriously. Where does the kid get these things? ;) Acting on experience, I turned to his brothers and asked them. Asher's surprisingly prompt reply? "More than 743 and less than 2532." I'm glad someone knew. (This, btw, seemed to satisfy Micah perfectly.)

- Today, then, the boy turned to me and said, "I wonder if the sun is a boy or a girl." I asked him what he thought (always a good route to go when he starts down these paths). He said, "I think a boy." Obviously, I then asked why. "Because boys, hmmm...and girls that you love...keep you alive...just like the sun." Strange but true, folks. I love the part about "girls that you love"...apparently other girls don't count. ;)

- If anyone can explain to me why today's high was in the high 60s and tomorrow's high is supposed to be about freezing, please do. And if we get the 6-12 inches of snow that's reported, I'd like to formally request that that be the end of that until soccer season is over. So there.

- Soccer season starts next week. Really.

- I *think* I may have finally made up my mind about bedding for the guest room in the basement. I know you were all anxiously awaiting that, LOL! 

Okay, that's enough for now. :)
