McCaffrey - Victoria's Cottage
Builder: McCaffrey (local) http://www.mccaffreygroup.com/communities/index.cfm?community_id=82
Home Name: Victoria's Cottage
Square Feet: 1457
Price per square feet: $159
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Kitchen: Granite, tile and comes with all appliances minus the frig
Up front costs: $15,600
Kimmie's thoughts:
positive: It's almost like buying a custom home. They literally build it for you with several choices of materials to choose from and you design the flooring just the way you want it. Pre-wired for just about everything, concrete tile roof, tankless water heater, super windows (they only let in approximately 30% of the UV rays), HVAC system and fiber optics.
negative: We would be paying for all the upgrades on the flooring, etc. We would have no money left for contingencies.

House Hunting (Lennar - Harvard)
As some may know we are so thankful to start the house hunting process! Yeah! Although we have looked at both resale and new homes we are sticking to the new ones. I apologize in advance for the video quality. I am using my regular camera and I was afraid to run out of space on my card so I tended to go by quickly through the homes and it is a bit dizzying. We need your help: give your advice and tips as we look at these homes! PLEASE!
The stats will proceed each video so here goes!

Dope Wars Alternative...

For all you dope wars addicts out there, here is challenging game testing your entrepreneurial skills. This was probably the easiest and most enjoyable assignment from the entrepreneurship class I just finished. My first round playing I lost $, let's see how you do!

Caleb counting
We were gone in Torrance this week. Caleb and I joined Jared as he went back down there to work. It was a good trip and we were happy to see our friends but I am thankful to be back. On one of the nights while we were giving Caleb a bath he started counting the stars on his robe.
My favorite number is "eleven" how about you?

Small Business Enterprenuership
that is the name of the online class I am taking. I thought it would be a good thing to ground myself in basic knowledge as I start out on this journey. So far so good until last week. Our assignment was on finances. Previously I have always liked working with numbers as it pertains to money and to be honest I have been kinda cocky about my knowledge in it. Last week I realized, I really don't like it AND I know nothing. Sometimes I even thought I might like to be an accountant or work for the IRS. NOPE. Not after last week, real life requires math equations! So there goes one skill I thought I had in the bag...guess I will have to find a new one to balance out this one woman show.

Ever Inspired's First Boutique
Earlier today my gracious mom in law hosted a boutique and invited all her friends to come. I have been preparing for several weeks now in anticipation of the event. Several people came and some even bought some cards from me! Very exciting! It was a great opportunity to get my name out there and spend some more time getting to know her friends. Sorry! I forgot my camera so no pics! Hopefully next time, if there is a next time! Thanks M.I.L and everyone who helped make it happen!

What would you do with a million dollars?
While we were eating McDonald's for dinner and playing the Monopoly game we asked each other the question what would you do with a million dollars?
To my surprise we both answered the same way:
1. Consult a tax attorney that specializes in large sum winnings
2. Tithe
3. Buy a house (cash) here in Fresno
4. Pay off our Rav4
5. Sell our Mazda and buy a Camry
6. Go on Vacation (maybe Europe?)
7. Save the rest
(8. I added that I would put Caleb in a 2nd language course, to which Jared asked "how much is that anyway??")
Good to know we are on the same page, now all we need to do is win! Hope my expanding waistline can hold up to the challenge! :)
How about you guys? What would you do with a million dollars?
