He's Tall...I'm Short.....it just works!


I'm 5'2" and that's with my Texas hair - he's 6'5". We get "looks" when we walk through the mall...which is rare because hubby hates to shop!! But we are a sight and people ask strange questions - well, they never really come out and ask but they certainly imply that they are wondering. I just stop them and say...."we're the same height laying down". As Ron White says (the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guy - the irreverent one) "that'll shut 'er up"!

There are several advantages to being married to a tall guy....I don't have to keep a step stool in the kitchen, he can clean the ceiling fans without standing on a chair and we are pretty awesome at volleyball. Ok - he's awesome but I have a pretty good serve - alright fine....it's not all that great but WHATEVER! But - I discovered that his height is not always a blessing - at least not to ME because I had NO IDEA what was on the top of my refrigerator!! Do you know what's on top of yours? Let me tell you....if you haven't looked in over a year, well, I'll just say that if hubby and I are coming over to your house - I'll give you fair warning!

  1. hehe, that's just like my mom and dad. My dad is 6'3" and my mom is just about 5'. I think it looks really cute.

  3. I am so glad I married a tall man because I am short all over. Especially when it comes to reaching stuff that's on a top shelf. You know how they say your wing-span is equal to your height? Well the hubs and I did an experiment to see if it was true with my whole family and it is true. Except in my case. My arms are two inches shorter on each side. So I'm glad he has a long reach!
