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.

Three on the third

Hi. Apparently it's November. :) Catching up a bit...

1. Football and drinks. Last Sunday, Lynne and I journeyed down to Denver and the Stanley Marketplace Beer Hall to watch the Broncos game. We had a fabulous time...eating and drinking and enjoying the game! It was so nice watching football together; none of the guys in my house care or watch with me.

Plus, it was a great game and the Broncos actually won! ;)

2. Micah as Ken. For Halloween, Micah dressed as Ken from the Barbie movie, complete with the official Kenough hoodie. I got this photo from him. He picked up the turkey leg headband in Chicago (I think) and appears to really like it. 

3. Halloween. We had a quiet Halloween here. I got the full sized candy bars again (because the bite size candies are too easy to snitch, lol) but we had very few trick or treaters so ended up with too many left over. (I've since put together bags for Asher and Micah to take back to college with them, so that should help.)

And we didn't put up any decorations again because there seems to be no point in competing with the house across the street. (He has way more inflatables than what he put out, btw. He has to rotate through them and claims to have enough to fill multiple additional yards.)

Instead, we moved our Solo Stove to the driveway and sat out there to hand out candy (easier than opening the door multiple times and our neighbor came and joined us and we had a lovely visit).

We also threw some color packets into the fire and enjoyed the fun colors for awhile. 

And that's my three for today. :)
