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.

Home again.

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 02:35PM

Whew. You may not have known it, but we're home again. We were on the road since July 9...attended a baptism, watched the World Cup with friends, helped finish wedding prep for my baby sister's wedding, went camping at Mt. Rainier, saw friends in Seattle, did the whole rehearsal and wedding and reception thing, went to a family reunion, spent a day in Yellowstone, and drove about 4000 miles altogether. Pulled in to our driveway about 3 am early Wednesday morning (and thankfully had the presence of mind ahead of time to move the garage door opener so we wouldn't accidentally try to pull into the garage with the cartop carrier attached, LOL).  

Just finished downloading (or is it uploading?) 2045 photos (not counting the ones Nathan took which are still on his iPhone). Spent all day yesterday just doing laundry. Finally tackling mail and such today. Will take me a bit to catch up...hang in there... ;)
