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.

Comic Con pictures: Things we saw (part 1)

DateThursday, June 19, 2014 at 11:56AM

I've posted most of these over on Facebook and haven't edited or anything but wanted to share them here so you can get a taste of the many cool things we saw at Comic Con...

Here's Gandalf at a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit booth. I liked how the lighting was just behind him, lol.

Among many other cool things at this particular booth, they had these knitting kits for Gandalf's hat and dwarf scarves...

And the boys spotted this Borg on display at a Star Trek booth...

...along with some sort of chess game played on Star Trek...(I had no idea, but the boys seemed quite excited about this...)

And we found these movie replica vehicles...here's Indiana Jones' motorcycle...

And Herbie...

More in the next post... ;)
