Marriage Tag

I have some major posting to do, But I don't feel like uploading pics right now so I'll just do this fun little tag and get to some memories later!!


What is his name? Matthew James Hess
What is your full maiden name? Brandi Elizabeth Banks
How long have you been together? Married for 7 years in Nov. (Holy Crap! We are old!)
How did you meet? When I was a sophomore in high school. I had a senior bully! One day this bully of mine was being really mean to me and all of a sudden I heard some kid telling her off. Telling her she was a psycho and that no one liked her etc etc etc. I sat there thinking who is this kid? Then he looked at me and said come on Brandi let me walk you to class. So he walked me to spanish. I remember thinking this kid's cute but we never really went out or anything. We would just randomly hang out with the same kids for several months before he finally asked me out for the first time the following fall. We went out the first time in October and then he went on his mission in Dec. When we first started going out I really didn't think anything of it because I knew he would be going on a mission but then like 3 weeks before he left I thought man I am really going to miss this kid. So we wrote back and forth while he was gone he came home two years later we had a lot of drama for the next 8 months and then we were married in Nov. 01
How long did you date? Interesting!! We kind of have a little bit of a soap opera history so this is a tricky question!
How old is he? 28
Who said I love you first? He totally did! Before the mission even though he denies it.
Who is taller? He is.
Who sings better? Probablly him, and every song is his favorite song so he is very loud!
Who is smarter? Definitly him
Whose temper is worse? MINE! it takes a lot to get him mad. I think I have only seen him really upset maybe twice in our whole marriage. When he has seen me mad probablly like a million times.
Who does the laundry? I do for the most part.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does which makes us mad because we always said let's not have sides of the bed and now we just do.
Who pays the bills? We both do
Who mows the lawn? He does unless I am feeling ambitious
Who does the dishes? me
Who cooks dinner? Mostly me, he is good at Sunday breakfast
Who drives when you are together? He does. And when I do I am called Karla!!
Who is more stubborn? We are equally way too stubborn!
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I guess we take turns. He'd say him I'd say me because we are stubborn!
Who kissed who first? He did! By my car a month before he left on his mission and that was at a point where I still really didn't know how to kiss because I was always so nervous! So I was excited for when he came home from his mission and I could show him what I had learned while he was gone! (is that bad to say!! :) )
Who proposed? He did.. both times!!!
Who is more sensitive? ME! especially prego although he got a good cry out of Charlie and A Walk to Remember!
Who has more friends? He has more closer tight best friends, I have more friends all over the place.
Who wears the pants in the family? We take turns which really annoys me because sometimes I just really want to be wearing them.
How many kids do you want to have? I think we are done with three. But we'll see.

Tag! anyone who wants to!

You know, I never wanted to have "sides of the bed" either but now I'm such a girly-wife that I make Jeff sleep on the side close to the door so he can beat up the burglars that come into our house. Funny!
