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.

Geese!

Guess what the boys and I spied on our way home from a friend's yesterday? Yeah, I guess putting it in the title of the post kinda gives it away, lol. Anyhow...lots of geese. So, even though we were trying to get home to get Asher back out the door for a demo team performance, we quickly pulled into the parking lot near this park. Noah declared that he would *not* be running on that grass, as it was covered in goose poo, so I handed him my phone and instructed him to take pictures. Asher, Micah and I then took off running from opposite directions:

Dude. That was fun. ;) 

(And, for the record, Noah did end up running on all that grass with us...just couldn't let us have all the fun, lol.)

Oh. And I didn't witness it, myself, but the boys inform me that they literally scared the crap out of those geese...as up close to the flock it was apparently raining poo. I was too slow in my cowboy boots to be right under the flock. (Yet another bonus of my cowboy boots, lol!)

Aren't you glad I shared that last bit with you? Hee hee.
