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.

Nathan's birthday & Father's Day celebration

DateMonday, August 14, 2023 at 08:50PM

You may remember that I've decided that we had too many events in our summers (with Mother's Day and my birthday and Father's Day and Asher's birthday and Micah's birthday and Nathan's birthday all in a row) so I declared that we're now celebrating Mother's Day on my birthday and Father's Day on Nathan's birthday. :) 

Well, yesterday was Nathan's birthday. We celebrated by elevating our Father's Day mini golf tradition and trying out Top Golf for the first time. For three of us, it was the first time we'd ever swung a golf club outside of miniature golf. We didn't do great but we had fun. :) (I even accidentally hit the guy in the ball collection cart, lol.) And I got our traditional photo of Nathan and the boys...

We enjoyed some wings while at Top Golf then went to a late lunch at a nearby ramen place. We weren't able to get pie as planned when we got back to Fort Collins (multiple places we tried were closed or had their dessert section closed for a few days...it was a little ridiculous) so got ice cream instead and then enjoyed vegging for the rest of the evening. It was good.

So very blessed to celebrate this man! We're a little busy this month, but I hope he knows how appreciated he is.
