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.

Emerald Lake

We headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday (and took advantage of the awesome program that's granting free passes to fourth graders and their families this year...woohoo! yay for having a kid who can qualify as a fourth grader!). It had been a good while since we'd done any hiking, so we decided to enjoy the fall colors and take a little hike to Emerald Lake. I made people take pictures:

It wasn't a very long or taxing hike at all, and it was a gorgeous day...which ended with fabulous food and ice cream in town. Happy fall!!
