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.

Twenty-three

DateSunday, November 5, 2023 at 08:51PM

So, I'm a few days behind here, but my Noah turned 23 on Thursday. 

Thursday, itself, was a pretty quiet day. Noah took the day off from work and we just hung out at home...chatting and watching shows and such. 

Saturday, with both brothers home for the weekend, we went out to dinner, grabbed desserts at Whole Foods and played new Jackbox games together. 

It was a low-key but lovely evening. :) 

Noah continues to live here and enjoy his colleagues at his banking job while looking for a job more in his field of study (mechanical engineering) now that he has more work experience under his belt. He continues to learn more about photography, hasn't been climbing as much lately and has hopes to do some traveling in the coming years.

Without much else new to report, I'll share this series of photos from June of 2002...when we lived back in Eugene and I was still pregnant with Asher. They're some of my favorite photos of my Noah...

These were taken in a field just off the walking path near our duplex. I love his intention and precision and delight...things he still displays to this day. :)

Happy birthday, my Noah! Here's to a 24th year of life filled with joy and adventure!
