I am! Good guess. I actually live right on the outskirts of Denver but I'm buying a place in Littleton soon.
I like that the shade actually works here. I used to live in the midwest and the humidity was awful. Not to mention to winters were so cold and dark! I love it here. Especially, if it wasn't obvious, I'm a bit hippy if you get my drift lol.
I never had family out here. I just visited in the fall a few years ago and fell in love. The mountains are something else, too. Did you ever go into the mountains when you were here?
