Lover Boy

I got this tag for couples and thought I'd do it... I will again attempt to have Peter do one from his perspective...

WHAT IS HIS NAME? Peter John Howell

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED? 5 months!

HOW LONG DID YOU DATE? 2 ½ years

HOW OLD IS HE? 33

WHO EATS MORE? Definitely Brooke – Peter could go all day without eating a single calorie and not notice, Brooke however gets unpleasantly HANGRY about every 3 hours if food is not ingested!

WHO SAID "I LOVE YOU" FIRST? Peter did, but you know when you are both wanting to say something and you just know it is coming… he said it on Main Street on our way home from walking the dogs one night.

WHO SINGS BETTER? Toughy… We are both pretty terrible. Possibly Peter – he’s a great whistler.

WHO IS SMARTER? Both – in different ways. Peter knows LOTS about fish and animals and nature.
Common sense knowledge (how NOT to cut off a finger) = Peter.
Spelling = Brooke.

WHOSE TEMPER IS WORSE? No question, MINE! I go from 0-90 in about 5 seconds then calm right down, Peter stays a nice calm & cool most of the time. I think he gets the most mad when he sees me get angry or freaky for NO reason (it’s genetic – ask any Cottongim, they can explain it)

WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? I do more of it, but when Peter’s hamper gets full he will do his own.

WHO DOES THE DISHES? Shared – I still beg for a dishwasher however.

WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED? Peter

WHO PAYS THE BILLS? We pay our own and split the joint ones.

WHO MOWS THE LAWN? Peter, I can barely push the darn thing.

WHO COOKS DINNER? Shared, but Peter is much more gourmet and is overall a better chef Boyardee.

WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER? Him. My driving scares / frustrates him.

WHO IS MORE STUBBORN? Pretty even there.

WHO IS THE FIRST TO ADMIT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG? Me. I hate having him (or anyone) mad so I am compelled to apologize right away and have forgiveness within seconds.

WHOSE PARENTS DO YOU SEE THE MOST? Pete’s – they are 30 miles away as opposed to the Cottongim family 1800 miles away in OK.

WHO PROPOSED? Peter – at his sister’s wedding reception (possibly slightly intoxicated).

WHO HAS MORE FRIENDS? Many shared friends, he is quite the social butterfly and likes lots of time with his buddies. But I am still close to tons of my friends from grade-school, high-school and college and Peter is not as much.

WHO HAS MORE SIBLINGS? We both have 1 other sibling – Clark is my bro and Amy is Peter’s sis. I also have 4 step siblings in OK and TN.

WHO WEARS THE PANTS? Peter…He may argue that one. His real pants... are long and have a lot of holes and I need to be a better 50’s wife and sew!
