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.

Godmom

Amid all the birthday fun, I wanted to also celebrate godmothers. Mine traveled up from Oregon to go to mom's party. (They met in college and obviously hit it off enough that she's my godmother.) I was pretty excited, because it had actually been 25 years since we'd seen each other...though we've written regularly over the years. We were able to visit as we set up for the party and during the party and the next day at lunch and while watching football together that afternoon. And it was good. :)

And during the weekend in Prosser, I also managed to take pictures with my two godsons, Case and Cade. (My goddaughter, Haylee, wasn't available, unfortunately.) Hoping I can be as good a godmom to all of them as mine is to me!
