Colorado, how do I love thee? Seriously, let me count the ways.
Let me start with the mountains - have you seen these crazy mountains? I can't stop admiring them. Nearly rear-ended someone today while I was staring off into the distance at the sun setting over the Rockies. I wonder if this will wear off? Hope not.
Then there is the very considerate layout of the streets in Denver - numbered Avenues and named Streets that, get this, go in alphabetical order. How thoughtful, how simple, how much easier it is to find your damn way around. A small thing, I'll admit, but a lovely detail all the same.
Surely I've mentioned the camping. The ease with which we can toss everything in the car and head out just an hour or so away to Pawnee Campground, or to Camp Dick (no joke!) for some s'mores, campfires, beer in cans, and sweet, sweet girl time. Somehow everything tastes better and every story is more hilarious or touching when surrounded by trees, sitting under the stars. I know that that won't wear off.
This is a really short list... am super sleepy and unable to finish the thought tonight. But I do love you so far Colorado, thank you for waiting so long for me to take the leap. I can't wait to see what else you have to show me and to teach me...
