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.

Red belt!

DateFriday, June 21, 2013 at 01:32PM

Last night, Asher earned his red belt in karate:

He's stoked and we're so very proud of him. This latest belt is particularly important to him, as it's taken the longest to earn (about half a year) now that he's in the more advanced levels. Yup. Happy. ;)

(Also, if you're local, I can't recommend Karate West highly enough. If you're at all interested, let me know. I'd be happy to chat with you about why!)
