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.

Thanksgiving

Just popping in briefly...hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! Ours definitely was. :)

I started off the day at the gym to get in a run and some time on the rowing machine. (The gym was more crowded than I've ever seen...almost every machine was in use! Guess everyone had the same thought to burn some calories in advance.) We then had a quiet morning and played some card games. (Micah ended up in the cone of shame this time, lol.) After lunch, we all walked over to the neighborhood park to get some fresh air and play some tag and frisbee...made them all take a picture with me:

Once we were back home, Nathan and Micah started in on the rest of the food prep and we ended up with this:

YUM.

After sitting down together and taking turns talking about what we're thankful for, we all settled into a bit of a food coma and had a quiet night. :)

And now we have plenty of leftovers and sunshine...life is good. :)
