Amanda Probst - Journal - Happy Seventieth!

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.

Happy Seventieth!

My dad would have been 70 today. He's been gone twelve years now. As has become an annual tradition, I'm handing out Three Musketeers bars in his memory today. Because we just got home from a week away and I'm still catching up (more on that soon!) and because it's just easier at the moment, I'll direct you to the Good Grief Blog I had awhile back to see and read layouts I made about him. He was such a good man.

Just a favorite picture of my dad at the farm, showing Noah how to drive a tractor back in the summer of 2004.

Happy birthday, Dad!
