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 grown) 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.

Wedding

Saturday, Micah and I drove down to Denver to help wrangle boys while Cas was busy with wedding stuff. We hung out with Blaze while Charlie got Case down for a nap, then we all got ready and headed over to the wedding venue. 

The wedding venue was gorgeous and the weather, though threatening with rain to start, cooperated beautifully...as the clouds parted and the sun shone through as the bride entered. Perfect! I'm told that the ceremony was lovely, though Cas and Micah are the only ones of us who actually witnessed it. :) Charlie chased Blaze and I walked Case during the ceremony. Weddings are a lot to ask of small boys, which is why Micah and I were there, lol. 

After the ceremony, Blaze was stoked to finally have access to Cas...or, rather, her bouquet:

And I took a picture of the sweet family:

At the reception, there was a room just for kids...with a craft table (with a couple ladies manning it), a face painter, bean bag tossing, and a foosball table:

I love that Micah was totally comfortable and happy playing with a bunch of girls, adults or even little kiddos. :)

Meanwhile, Case and I hung out:

And Blaze thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed that they let him have all the foam stickers that he wanted:

As the night carried on, Cas and I took Case back to the hotel so she could get him down for the night. I then stayed with him while Cas went back to the reception to dance with her husband and fulfill her bridesmaid duties. Micah stayed with them to help chase after Blaze. :)

Eventually, they all came back to the hotel, and Micah and I drove home.

(By the way, Cas and I were sad to miss our cousin Anthony's wedding back in Prosser (WA) the same day. We definitely missed seeing everyone but the pictures we saw looked like everyone had a good time.)
