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.

So. In case you were wondering, both boys had a great first day at Options yesterday.

Micah was delighted to be back with his friends (which, fortunately, includes Asher), though he declared that his favorite part of the day was washing dishes in his Iron Chef class because "at least it was something to do." (He was a little put out by all the first day talking/rules and get to know you games, lol.)

Asher was similarly non-enthused by the first day rigamarole. His favorite thing was meeting another 13 year old boy who was actually smaller than him. ;) 

And, today, we began our homeschooling year. We did some talking and started on some reading, sentence composition, science and Korean. I know it's only day one, but I'm pretty happy with how things are looking!
