Hi, my name is Alyssa, and I'm short

I know this is going to be the most random post...but I'm sitting at home sick and I have nothing better to do than go through old pictures. As I go through more and more, I'm starting to realize a pattern in the pics...I'm significantly SHORTER than most people in the picture with me. I mean I know I've always been short...I've been 5'1'' and 1/4 since 8th grade and haven't grown a centimeter since...but looking at myself standing next to other people I look AbNoRmAlLy small, like if I didn't know myself I would think I'm a midget. I always thought people were abnormally tall, but I'm starting to realize IT'S ME.
For example:


Halloween pic with some friends


My besties at my wedding. Yes they're wearing heals and I'm wearing flip flops...but still?


Me with my twin brothers who are 5 years younger than me and TOWER over me
(see the one behind me)

At our ward Halloween party

All of Emily's best friends at her wedding...I'm the short one on the end...


I told Owen about my concern...but his response was I'm perfect the way I am. If I was any taller then he probably would not have liked me, ha. So I guess it's okay that I'm short. I think I'm finally going to accept it. Plus, after looking at this picture, we are perfect together...in every single way.
