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.

Across the miles...

A dear friend sent me this photo earlier today from the cemetery where I grew up (the one I visited every Memorial Day with my dad), letting me know she was thinking of me...

I can't be there to place them on my dad's grave, myself, but here are the peonies I picked out for him:

And, now, rather than just repeat myself, I'll direct you to last year's post for my thoughts on Memorial Day...and will wish you all a blessed rest of your weekend.
