A Place to Live

No, we haven't sold our house yet but we have already started shopping for a house in London. This evening, while I was still trying sleep off the remainders of a whopping migraine, Kevin called and gave Taylor the latest "perfect house". This is the 3rd perfect house that Kevin has found.

The first perfect house is/was a bungalow in Weybridge. I like the house just fine and it is close to one of the schools on our list and a reasonable trip on the train to Kevin's office. Kevin, however isn't really WOW'd by the house so he continues the search.





The second house was a surprising find but quickly went to the top of my list. It is located in the town of
Leatherhead. (Any of you old guys listen to the group called The Choir back in the 80s? "Walking down Kingston Road, in the little town of Leatherhead. Guess I'm on my own, though I will never be alone..." Yes, it is THAT Leatherhead!)

This house has 5 bedrooms and is bigger than others in our price range, but still not as big as our current house. Kevin's trip would be
a little longer and we might have to re-prioritize our school list but at least all of our stuff will fit in it!


Today, Kevin's lates
t perfect house made me roll my eyes at first but it has some redeeming points. On the down side, it is tiny. Only 1635 square feet. That is almost half the size of our current house. On the up side, it is really, REALLY close to Kevin's work.

  1. I personally like the bungalow (sp?)... but I stand by the statement...make Momma happy, because if Momma ain't happy...ain't nobody happy! So Kevin can keep searchin'..but whatever Tiffani likes..wins!

  2. From Stephany Robinson:
    I love the bungalow...it has charm and character! It just looks so homey and warm.

    The huge one also has a lot of character, but it is farther away, and that would mean a longer commute for Kevin, and changing school choices, etc...so might not be worth the space?

    Can you tell I am an "older house" lover? My house is 30 years old, and I love the original touches that are still there...the original tile in the entry was the major selling point when we had narrowed down our choices!

  3. Choice 3 is looks cool but is too small. How would Jackson and Taylor decide who gets the small bedroom? I'm a big fan of towns, not lawns, so I vote for number 2. Kevin will be closer and will come home sooner to his loving family and wonderful home cooked meals :)

  4. Uhhh...Nobody said anything about home cooked meals. Really, in the Fortune family home, the kitchen is wasted space!!!
