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 two

My Asher turned twenty two yesterday. :)

Yup. Good looking guy who makes faces when I try to take pictures of him. 

He's worked a couple of short term jobs this summer and is mostly relishing a lazy summer. He's been staying active with parkour, demo team, and riding his OneWheel...sometimes with other demo and Taekwondo Club friends. He's also been re-reading his way through all the Rick Riordan books and making plans to possibly tackle some other fun experiences (but has been waiting out some injuries). 

In August, he'll head back to UNC (University of Northern Colorado). He'll have two more years in his program (Sport & Exercise Science: Physical Education K-12 Teaching)...will be living in the same dorm room again this coming year...and is looking forward to another year in the UNC Taekwondo Club (along with the UNC PE Club). It's been lovely watching him find his people and enjoy his major. Having seen him with his younger cousins recently, it's clear that working with kids and keeping them active is a good path for him. Listening to him talk about some of his classes, I know that he truly cares about it, too. 

We didn't do anything particularly exciting yesterday (hard on Mondays anyhow)...went out to dinner and dessert, played some games, and opened gifts from his brothers and grandparents. I love that he loves hanging out with us still and am looking forward to seeing what the coming year brings for him.
