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.

Pending...

Whew. This past week has been a little bit full. I've shared some photos over on Facebook and am working on getting stuff up here. Really. In the meantime, I'll ask you to hang tight and remember that this is (some of) what my past week has involved:

THURSDAY: Asher's first day (ever) at CEC...Asher's weekly parkour session

FRIDAY: Asher to CEC...boys to karate and demo team practice

SATURDAY: met a friend at the gym...took boys to demo team practice...weekly chores...Asher's first experience with homework, lol

SUNDAY: Asher and Micah performing with the Karate West demo team at New West Fest

MONDAY: me to boot camp...Nathan leaving for a last minute business trip...it was also Nathan's birthday, btw (we may celebrate this weekend??)...started our homeschool year...Asher to CEC

TUESDAY: Micah started his First Lego League season with a four hour session with his team...Asher to CEC...homeschooling (with some extra to make up for knowing we wouldn't do any Wednesday)...met with Noah's roommate and his parents for dinner...finished all of Noah's packing and loaded most things up

WEDNESDAY: Nathan's plane was delayed and he didn't get home till about 1 am Wednesday morning...I went to boot camp...we loaded the last few things and headed for CSU to move Noah into his dorm...Nathan and Asher left after an early lunch altogether, to get Asher to CEC...Micah and I followed after going with Noah to the bookstore to collect his textbooks...boys to karate that night

THURSDAY: had a sprinkler repairman out to fix a leaking line (fortunately a simple fix)...homeschooling...took some last items up to Noah...picked up Asher from CEC...rescheduled Asher's weekly parkour so we could all go enjoy the Ram Welcome dinner and carnival

And now we're finishing up our homeschool week, Asher's home from CEC, we'll have karate and demo team practice later tonight, and we're *really* looking forward to the weekend and getting into a more routine routine. :)
