How I Met My Husband

I really enjoyed Alice Munro's short story How I Met My Husband. I would Definitely recommend it to someone else. I felt like I could relate to the main character Edie. I feel as though many women would relate to Edie as well. When you are younger,you are naive. You have hope for love and when you think you have it,you believe it will never end. I know when I was younger I wasted too much time and energy on the wrong "men",much like Chris Watters. "Men" who never followed through on their promises. Like Edie I lost faith in the idea love.

Much to my surprise...I met my husband when I least expected it. I wasn't looking for love,but it sure found me. My husband restored my faith in men,and made me realize they are not all the same.

Looking back it is funny how things turn out. We now have 2 children. Clayton 4 years old and Lauren 6 months old. I hope to teach my son and daughter respect,not only for themselves but for people throughout their lives.
