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.

Done!

And just like that, Micah's graduated! 

Yup, last Saturday, we had our third high school graduation from Colorado Early Colleges Fort Collins. The week's rain stopped long enough to enjoy the day. We prepped for a small gathering to celebrate our boy...

Those are pictures from birth to now (and helped prevent anyone climbing our wall during the party, lol).

After getting things ready, we headed to the same ballroom where both brothers graduated and the ceremony went off as planned. All in all, his class had 231 graduates. 144 of those graduated with Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Cum Laude honors. 184 graduated with honors or high honors. 12,763 college credits were earned. 159 Associate Degrees were earned, and 470 Certifications were earned. We enjoyed the student speakers and particularly appreciated the commencement address by one of the school's professors. 

Also, we took some group pictures both before and after...

Clockwise from top left: with his brothers, with his Nana (my mom), with his grandparents (Nathan's parents), with his friend Andrew at the party, with friends Adam and Kael after the ceremony, with Nana and his cousin Alexis (Nana and Alexis flew out from Washington to join us), and with us.

I didn't get as many pictures during the party, itself, but we truly enjoyed the time visiting with friends and family. 

And here are the graduation announcements we mailed out beforehand...

And now we're done with high school! Micah will be enjoying his summer and working on his personal enterprises (he has a couple projects he's working on) while preparing for college in the fall. Whew. :)
