My husband (Thanks LeiAnn)

I decided to do a tag since I haven't posted in a while. I just got back from my trip Monday morning at 1:00 and I have probably over 1000 pictures to go through. It may be a bit but I will try to get some up in the next week.
This is just a picture of us when we lived in Rexburg in 2004...on our way to go workout (which is why I look so gross).


1. What is his name? Spencer Burnett Jones
2. Who eats more? Spencer, but I'm right up there with him.
3. Who said "I love you" first? I did, but he told me then next day...wait did I already do this post a while back? Oh well. He suprised me at work and wrote "Jackie Bassett, I'm in love with you!!!" in toothpaste on my car. It was cute.
4. Who is taller? Spencer! He is 6'3" and I'm sooo glad!
5. Who is smarter? Spencer is deffinetly more book smart. I'm more Mom smart :)
6. Who is more sensitive? I am, most deffinetly!! Not even comparable.
7. Who does the laundry? I do. Spencer isn't allowed to do laundry but he does every once in a while and that's always a reminder of why he's not allowed. He has washed and dried gum at least 3 times, washed my dry clean only several times, and washed whites with jeans and towels just to name a few instances.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I always have to sleep closest to the door. My side of the bed always changes depending on how our bedroom is set up in the room.
9.Who pays the bills? Spencer does, thankfully...I hate that job!
10. Who cooks more? I do the cooking but Spencer is supposed to do the cooking every Sunday. We have been out of our routine for a while but I'm going to have him start doing it again.
11. Who is more stubborn? Okay, this one is a toss-up. We are both very hard headed and usually it ends with me saying something to the effect of "Don't you remember that advice you got when we got married? I'M always right!!"
12. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? I guess it just depends on the situation.
13. Who has more siblings? I do. I have 5 and he has 3.
14. Who wears the pants in the family? As the saying goes...we both have a leg in.
15. What do you like to do together? We like to go bowling, camping, offroading, hiking, play card games, go out to eat, play the wii, etc...
16. Who eats more sweets? We both go though our phases. Sometimes we are really good and sometimes quite the opposite and it's not always at the same time.
17. How did you meet? His family and my family have been friends since I was a month old. We both moved to Billings around the same time. We both moved around but still stayed in touch and even visited.
18. First kiss? Spencer had just taken me on a wonderful date(our first official). We went hiking and he remembered all my favorites and brought them as snacks for the hike. That was VERY impressive. He says I kept giving him the "kiss me" eyes but I totally wasn't. It was more like "wow, he's amazing" eyes- which I guess probably isn't much of a different look so I'll have to give him that. After the hike we were at the house I was renting, sitting on the couch, and he kissed me. I had just told my friend that I wasn't ready for him to kiss me yet because since our families were such good friends I knew it would go fast. So, he kissed me and I didn't kiss him back. Spencer said "it was like kissing a wall". I'll never live it down, it was kind of awkward. I did kiss him about a week later though. Oh, and it did go fast after we kissed! We were married that summer.
19. Who proposed? Spencer was going to be going to school soon and we were talking about where our relationship was going. He told me that I could move to Rexburg and I informed him that I wasn't moving to Rexburg unless there was a good reason. I had a good job doing massage and didn't want to leave it just to have to come back. That's when we decided that we didn't want to date long distance and we had already said I love you, so we should get married. He proposed June 20th, 2004 and we were married Aug 21, 2004...just in time to have a honeymoon before the semester started.
20. What is his best feature? His eyes and his dimple.
21. What is his greatest quality? He puts up with me! I'm not even exaggerating. I'm pretty high maintenance. Other than that, he has a good heart. He is always helping others and I admire him for that!

Oh yeah I remember you telling Desirea and I that you and Spencer would never get married and get serious because he was too much like a brother since oyu had known him forever. But Deedz and I knew you two would get married and we we were right! And just look at the beautiful children you make. I love you guys and I am so happy you have chosen to be with each other for eternity!
