God Lives Here

Reasons I love Colorado (in no particular order, and by no means comprehensive, especially since I really need to get back to studying):

-view from the top of the mountain--there is absolutely nothing like this in the world
-best state flower. Hands down.
-coffee shops with signs on the door saying "please take your crampons off before coming inside"
-people in the parades throw dog biscuits in addition to candy
-the "Hey Baby" song at the Rockies games
-all the parks, and the people who use them
-It goes without saying, but 300 days of sunshine...please.
-Fittest state in the nation, many years running
-a large percentage of my favorite people live here
-Bonnie Brae ice cream
-our patron is St. Francis of Assisi
-KYGO
-The Children's Hospital (I mean, seriously, if I didn't have high hopes of staying here for residency and loving it, it would put a serious damper on things)
-apparently home of the best "Small Town in America" (Louisville)
-home of Chipotle.
-Breckenridge Brewery, New Belgium, Boulder Beer, Great Divide--most breweries per capita of any state--means you can always find a good microbrew on tap
