In preparation for the move, I've been going through my clothes and making a "to give away pile." I dutifully tried on pants before putting them into the pile, only to discover that they are 2-3 inches too short for me. Now, I knew that clothes can shrink with time, but not that much! I was also pretty sure that I never wore my pants that short. So I decided to measure myself.
Sure enough, I have grown an inch! I think I may have been 20 the last time I got measured, at which point I decided that that was my final height. Wrong!
So there. A positive of moving! (Not that the moving made me grow, but you know).

Wow! I wish I would grow a bit more in height and not in butt/belly area. :-)
I wish I would grow an inch! (and not just due to heels) Finally get me to the 6ft. mark =)
I just did this last week. Then I moved on Wednesday... now I need to do it again.
Take my advice... just do it twice BEFORE you move. Get rid of the, well... "I MIGHT wear this again" pile.
I'm jealous! I've been pretty much the same height since I was 12!
wow, that's awesome!!
i grew an inch in college too - made me very happy :).
Unreaction - don't we all grow in the belly area? ;)
Albatross - from my level, 5'11" and 6' look identical, so you really don't need to ;)
Jewels - I agree, thanks for the advice!
MadHatter - I was like 4' tall at 12! (ok, a little taller, but still the shortest kid in class!) I am quite happy I have grown since!!
EGF - funny thing is, I have been claiming to be my current height all along ;) Who knew it was actually the truth?
PhizzleDizzle - payback to all those who grew early, eh?
