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.

Somewhat annually...

So. A couple times now, I've done this...basically, because I neglected to plan ahead to do anything fun for April Fools, lol. So, here's a list of 12 things. All of them are true except for two. Guess which two. ;)

1. I'm anal and must drink my tea from the same side of the glass every time. 

2. I shot my new bow for the first time on Friday. 

3. Noah has decided (finally) to move to the black team on swim team. (They have red team and black team...black team is the more advanced.)

4. Grimace is purple.

5. I am one of the lucky 5% whose student loan debt is greater than $75,000. 

6. Asher misinterpreted song lyrics on Friday and sang to us all about a "monkey in love" and had us busting up so much that Noah spewed his drink.

7. About two weeks ago, I lost Micah.

8. The whole first cousins, second cousins, first cousins once removed thing confuses me. I've had numerous people explain it to me and I still can't keep it straight.

9. I finally found a pair of sunglasses that fits!

10. We turned our outside water on for the year over the weekend. 

11. A fox crossed the sidewalk just in front of me during my run this morning.

12. We're now on book three in the Percy Jackson series (and the boys are loving learning all about the Greek mythology). (I'm just glad that it's encouraging them to read more books, lol.)

Okey-dokey. Guess which two aren't true! I'll be back tomorrow with the answers. ;)

I actually looked up the color Grimace and indeed it is a shade of purple. I do hope you didn't lose Micah.

So, I'm going to take a couple of wild guesses and say #4 (maybe it was Micah) and #12 (maybe you're on book 2 or book 4?).
