We heard through the grapevine that when Mary Beth and I were at church in Omaha in July some murmured, "How tall is she?!"
In December, before we were dating, we put a ruler across our heads as we stood back to back in the kitchen and one of the kids announced, "She's about 1 centimeter taller!" A month later when Mary Beth and I started talking about dating, we discussed what were our 'deal breakers'. I jokingly asked her, "You remember I'm shorter than you. Are you okay with that?" Thankfully, she said it wasn't a deal breaker! I've told lots of people that Mary Beth is taller than I am, though something wasn't quite right. She kept saying she is 5-feet 9 and 3/4 inches tall, and I'm just over 5 foot 10 inches. Canadian inches must be bigger.
Friday, we had a medical campaign and Mary Beth helped translate for a physical therapist who was taking care of this very short patient! Mary Beth looks like an Amazon woman in comparison! We showed this picture to Mia, which led to everyone wanting to get measured. I guess Mary Beth must have shrunk since December, because she is now 2 cm shorter than I am!
She's 176 cm for us metric people.
