Wanna know the best part about having my bro-in-law and his fiance staying with us was??
(aside from the excuse to do fun things, eat good food, and drink too much)
((and aside from the fact that we kinda sorta like them… a lot))
FINALLY GETTING TO BE “THE SHORT ONE”
Anybody know a good sports agent? There’s some serious volleyball/basketball/pitching offspring-potential in that gene pool. (in the very very very distant future please don’t freak out) ((ahem, Dad B))
I’ve already got a script proposal and casting call to ESPN for the new Dance Mom’s spin off, don’t worry. I hear early retirement calling my name…
OUaL Dating Tip : Fellow tall girlfriends, find yourself a tall dude and scope out his family tree (don’t get caught though, that’s toeing the ‘stalker’ line a bit) Bonus points if his kin prefer vertically-blessed counterparts as well. Latch on for dear life.
You’ll thank me when you aren’t imprisoned to a lifetime in flats or taking your shoes off for family photos.

I’m pretty short at 5’4″, but my husband is only 5’8″ – so I was limited in wedding heel selection to 3″ heels so he could be taller than me in photos. You’d be surprised at how few cute heels exist at the 3″ and under mark. Thankfully, I found a pair after months of searching!

Eric is 6’1 or 6’2, I’m 5’7. I have high hopes for our kids! But Eric’s dad is like 5’8 so I don’t know…i think his mom’s side of the family has all the tall people.

Amen! I once got dumped for being too tall (nevermind that it was in 5th grade) so I cling to those tall boys like white on rice. My guy is 6’3 which is perfect for most shoe options, although his siblings seem to lack his genetics in the height department. But a smaller baby (in the very far away future!) should be less painful so it’s fine by me either way. BUT if that kid is tall, you can bet I’ll do everything in my power to get on this Dance Moms show you’re thinking of!

SO jealous of your height, wish I had the tall gene. I am always the shortest in photos, even with 4.5 inche heels

Haha! This is awesome! My husband is convinced that our future offspring will be either professional volleyball or basketball players. I have to remind him frequently that we’re both average height and are among the tallest in our Mexican families. I guess a man can dream though… I’m convinced they’ll just kick ass at rugby. That and being awesome.

Now if only finding a tall guy with tall friends or a tall gene pool was easy…

Yes! It’s all about tall families! I’m 5’12” and my Manfriend is 6’5″. He comes from a family of tall women (olympic volleyball status) and my family is 5’10” and up. We often talk about having kids that are either super models or super athletes! I also LOVE wearing heels and feeling like a “normal’ girl :)

That is some QUALITY advice. I was thinking I was safe because my husband is just shy of 6 feet, and I’m only 5’6ish, but I’m still a bit taller him in lots of my heels!!

I find this post too too too funny. My husband is six foot eight, so had he married almost anyone other than five foot three me, he’d probably make quite a few little million dollar athlete babies.
