This giant fellow is my little cousin Justin. I don't know Justin very well, since he is 12.5 years younger than me and grew up in New Hampshire whereas I lived in Maryland. My dad has 7 brothers and sisters (Mom has 4) and therefore, I have many, many cousins (at least 19 cousins on Dad's side alone). So, you can imagine that the cousins I knew best were the ones closest to my age. Anyway, I heard that this one was working for the Washington Nationals and traveling with the team, so when John and I went to the baseball game last night, I decided to give Justin a call just to see what he looked like. Last time I saw him, he was probably a Freshman in high school and I guarantee you he wasn't this big. So, when I asked him how will I spot him in a crowd (other than the fact that he is 6'5" tall), he said, "I'm very good looking". Funny kid. It was great to see him, catch up for a few minutes. It is probably the most I've ever talked to him in my life, but nice to see a cousin that I never really knew. I'm hoping we can catch up with him when he comes back to town in September. Anyway, tell me....do you see a family resemblance??? Haha. I really got the short genes, huh? I have many cousins that are this tall, so for those of you who wonder how I deal with such a tall husband, well, I've been around it my whole life. I have a few female cousins in Utah that are WAY over 6'.
