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.

Quote #9.

Sorry for the delay. It was a busy weekend and start of the week (which I'll detail more soon) so I'm a bit behind. ;) I find the quote I picked ironic...

No great thing is created suddenly. –Epictetus

I’ve never appreciated the saying that patience is a virtue. I’m an impatient sort. ;) I’m working, though, on reminding myself that some things are worth the wait and that doing things right may take time. Sigh. Here’s to acknowledging the potential advantages of time…
