I never would have imagined that buying a house would lead me to finding "the one." After selling my condo in the city, I decided to move back to my childhood neighborhood. I looked at houses in nearly every surrounding town before, somewhat reluctantly, finding my way back home. When I was growing up, I didn't know the family who lived at 10 Chouteau, but my mom and brother did. Although I didn't buy the house from the Panzera family, I soon met one of them, Justin. About six months after I moved in, Justin stopped by next door. I happened to be outside grabbing my sunglasses from the car when we met. We started talking, and I invited him inside to see what had become of the house. From there, the rest is history. Today, after a journey that wasn't always a straight path, we have been happily together for over 5 years. We live at 10 Chouteau, own a business together, and share our home with four beloved fur babies. I can't imagine my life without him, and I am so excited to begin this next chapter of our journey together as husband and wife.
