Hey guys, I hope you had a great time over the holidays. I spent a couple weeks with the fam in Glencoe (that’s on the north shore of Chicago for my Des Moines native friends). I am so excited to be back in West Des Moines though – it is my home afterall.

So remember how I wrote about snow removal being included in the HOA? Well being gone for 2 weeks in the winter made it all worth it. If you own a home you already know what a pain it is to shovel sidewalks. But did you know the city can fine you for not cleaning it up in a timely fashion? That means whenever you take a vacation in the winter, you need to have someone on call to clean your sidewalk or risk a fine. At GreenWay Crossing I don’t have to worry about that!

Anyway, so back to Des Moines. Is anyone else as happy as I am that we got a Chipotle here last year? I know I’m a little late on this, but man they’re good. Don’t make fun of me, but I use it as a treat for myself every week that I go to the gym 3 or more times. Does anyone else do something like that with their work out schedule?
