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.

Brown belt

DateMonday, April 18, 2016 at 11:11AM

So. Last Friday, Micah promoted to BROWN BELT. He's pretty happy. :) He has to earn one more belt after this (and put in the requisite class work from there) before he'll be eligible to test for black belt. Whoa.

Here are a few pictures...first, the demo team performing as usual:

...and actually receiving the new belt from Mr. Yee:

...and high-fiving the others who promoted:

...and hanging with his pals (who also promoted to brown belt that night):

Yay! Continually pleased with how karate has and is influencing our lives!
