We met in 2012, I was looking for a house to buy and Chris was my real estate agent. We clicked immediately; however, we were both in relationships and neither of us ever imagined we'd end up together! We maintained a strictly business relationship, eventually parting ways a few months later... As my father had been diagnosed with cancer, and he personally felt that buying a house would not be in my best interest at that time. We kept in touch sporadically. A couple of years later, in 2014, I closed on a house for my son and I; and I remembered that Chris did renovations. I contacted him and hired him to do home improvement work, and to teach me some D.I.Y. stuff in the home. He was single, I was heading towards the end of a relationship I was in. He would listen to me complain, process with whatever was going on in my life. He'd guide me through things he had experience with. We started casually dating, and in June of 2014 he slept over one night and never left!
