juliaallison: Due to a confluence of flight issues / bad weather, my girl Jordan is still at Prom King’s place in Aspen with Mr. Kendrick. I am ridiculously, obscenely jealous.  Something about the altitude and the lack of cars & buildings & traffic (rural love!) and the clean, fresh air with brilliant sunshine just agreed with me.  I slept well, I exercised outside every day (skiing and long walks in the nature preserve), I even ate healthily - despite Prom King’s attempts to lead me down the road of mac&cheese, hahah.  I could have stayed there for two weeks, easily. Lord, I could *move* there and be happy.  Why doesn’t everyone live in Colorado?! We don’t want everyone to live here. The best part of living here is that it’s like our little secret. It’s as if the rest of the country doesn’t know how beautiful and perfect it is here. Most people think it snows all the time, and is freezing, but it’s not. It does snow, and sometimes it can snow pretty bad, but that’s rare, and wen it does snow there is always sunshine the next day. The sun is always shining here, and the skies are always so blue. I’m talking about Denver though, I’ve never been to Aspen. Most Coloradans would argue that Aspen is not in fact an actual part of Colorado. It’s a ski town full of tourists, but it is in the Rocky Mountains, and let me promise you something: There are no mountains more beautiful than the Rocky Mountains. I live in the most beautiful state in the country. I encourage you to visit, but please don’t stay. Except you JA, you can totally stay!
