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.

Progress report

DateFriday, February 7, 2014 at 08:45PM

1. Thankful for our van and its reliability. (The odometer hit this as I pulled into the garage on Thursday, 2/6.)

2. Thankful, too, for having a garage! So glad to not have to scrape windows.

3. While I'm at it, I'll even add that I'm thankful for treadmills...and the fact that I have access to some at the gym. My training for the half marathon this May wouldn't be going well without the ability to train indoors. ;)

4. Regardless of my gratitude...down with groundhogs! I'm sooooo over winter. Sigh.

5. Our official "off" week is almost over but the Olympics are on now, lol...so I'll be hibernating a bit, doing a lighter load of schoolwork, and trying to post some actual progress reports on how our school year's been going. Stay tuned. :)
