Favorite Things about SD

-Family everywhere!

-The dark, lush, green grass and trees.

-The friendliness of everyone from the farmers waving to you on back roads to the little old ladies in the grocery store pinches the baby's cheeks.

-It only takes 5 minutes to get across town.

-Everything is a little cheaper from the restaurants to the video rentals.

-Toads to chase.

-Did we mention Gmas and Gpas?!

-Aunts, uncles and cousins!

-Sometime you just wanna go where everybody knows your name!

-Dew on the grass in the morning.

-Unbelievable sunrises and especially spectacular sunsets.

Favorite Things about CO

-Perfect weather, and boy do I mean perfect. No A/C needed, just open the windows and feel the cool, crisp (dry) breeze. (But get your sprinkler system and chapstick ready, it's dry here!)

-Snowboarding, hiking, biking, camping, skiing, white-water rafting, boating, fishing, walking!

-No bugs. Maybe a few fruit flies but really, no bugs!

-Healthy minded individuals everywhere. People take fitness very seriously out here.

-The best peaches you have ever tasted (Western Slope).

-Great friends and neighbors.

-Authentic Mexican burritos and green chile to die for.

-Hello! The shopping rocks! From flea markets to Outlet Malls, chain retailers to boutiques, we have it all within a 30 minute drive.

-Thanks to being a 'mile high' you can get an awesome tan (or burn) in as little as 2 hours.

-Rocky Mountain Highs (insert John Denver song here.) The mountains are unbelievable and you cannot help but feel closer to God when you are up on top of a Fourteener. It's intoxicating.
