Everything happens for a reason...
...and I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am that I married Josh. He was something unexpected that came into my life and ended up pulling me in a direction I didn't anticipate. I'd had my eye on someone else for the longest time, someone who I'd thought would be a perfect match for me, and I'll admit, as Josh and I got more serious about our relationship, that little, nagging "What if" was definitely in the back of my mind. But when I look at how my would-be paramour turned out, how he changed over the years to become an utter stranger, the relief I feel is immense, almost like a weight off my shoulders. I am so grateful that things turned out the way they did...I have a wonderful life and the best husband.

That phrase is beaten into my head by several people ;)
What a nice post though. I have friends that do nothing but bitch about their husbands and wonder to myself if they have happy marriages. I'm glad things worked out for the best.
I want a husband like your's and my good friend's. The both of you are very close but give one another room for independence. I think that's a plus.
Haha...and I was meaning it to be more of an observation of my close shave rather than a love note to Josh. ;-)
I just couldn't imagine how different my life would be if I'd ended up with that other guy, and it wouldn't be a good thing. I don't know if time has changed him, or maybe the girl he married, or if the person I knew in college was just a facade and THIS is who he really was the entire time. Regardless, I feel kind of betrayed and unbelievably relieved.
And I think it's really important to find someone who is okay with you doing your own thing. You HAVE to, otherwise you'll get sick of each other. I told Josh the other night that I'm ecstatic that baseball season has started because it brings us together while letting us do other things at the same time: he sits on the couch and watches the game and I sit on the couch and read. Ha!
