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.

Thankful Thursday

DateThursday, September 22, 2022 at 12:49PM

Just a quick entry today. Things I'm thankful for:

1. CU Boulder visit. Last Saturday, Micah and I drove down to Boulder for the Business at a Glance program for diversity students at the Leeds School of Business at CU. We got fed and listened to a number of informative sessions...

...and appreciated the beautiful campus...

Thankful for the time and for this step along Micah's college journey. (For anyone trying to keep track, CU Boulder is currently the only school in Colorado that Micah's considering. Also, yes, he's back to considering business as a major, though kinesiology is still in the mix.)

2. Car rides. The drive to and from Boulder reminded me of how much I miss time in the car with boys. I appreciate the captive audience, lol. I get a few minutes with Noah each day when I take him to and pick him up from work (thankful!) but don't get much car time with boys in general.

3. Sudoku. I recently tried sudoku for the first time. I now have an app on my phone and a daily habit, lol. I like and appreciate the challenge.

4. Autumn. Happy fall, y'all! I love fall. It's my favorite season for sure. And I'm thankful that the weather yesterday and today has ushered in fall appropriately. After the 90s earlier this week, the overcast and rainy weather has been a welcome change. 

Okay, back to my list of things to do today...here's to a fabulous fall!
