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.

Decisions & updates

DateFriday, March 31, 2023 at 12:02PM

End of March. Whew.

So, updates...

After much waiting and then deliberation and math and more conversation aplenty, Micah has decided to attend the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) this fall. He's been admitted to the Leeds School of Business and is looking forward to the many opportunities and programs offered. It won't be as warm as California but feels like a better fit, will be considerably easier on our travel budget, lol, and means that he'll be able to stick with his current medical team a bit longer. 

Also, I've mentioned it before but after our campus tour last week Asher made it "official"...he plans to transfer to the University of Northern Colorado this fall and has been accepted as a transfer student to their Sport & Exercise Science: Physical Education K-12 Teaching program. 

Sooooo...we've thus spent the past week(ish) navigating college website systems: paying enrollment deposits for both Micah and Asher...and setting up student accounts...and submit housing applications...and all that. Annoying (because of the websites, lol) but mostly it's just lovely to have a plan and be moving forward. :)

And here's a photo from 13 years ago, just for fun...back when Asher and Micah held my hands. :)

(This was at Oceanside, CA during our trip out to Legoland in March 2010.)
