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.

Spamalot

Last night, we took advantage of student/educator night to go watch Open Stage's Monty Python's Spamalot at the Lincoln Center here in Fort Collins. (Huge thanks to the Thornton Charity Foundation for their donation to cover ticket costs for students and teachers!)

To start, my older guys were maybe not enthusiastic (despite our fantastic seats right up front):

But, throughout the entire show, I caught them laughing right out loud and thoroughly enjoying themselves. :) It probably helped that we'd introduced our boys to Monty Python and the Holy Grail awhile back, so they were at least familiar with the tone. (The show followed some of the classic movie scenes but added some of its own that were similarly hilarious.) 

All in all, a fabulous way to spend the evening! If you're local and have the chance to go see this, I highly recommend it!
