Picture Fun

Last night I had Jenny Benson come over and take pictures of me and Spencer in hopes of getting a good one to put in our Christmas Cards that are going out. Spencer was being a goof, but making me smile. Here's the evidence to prove his guilt:

We were laughing about being posed like it was an engagement picture, so he obliged with some cheesy faces that overdramatize the typical excitement you would see in such a photo.

This coming from the man who's normal facial expression is this:

or this:

So, of course, if anything that could remotely be construed as a smile comes across his face, a great accomplishment has been achieved. One of my favorite things that he does: When I am crying or sad for some reason, he tries to remember the words to the Primary song, "No one likes a frowny face," which is a great task of itself since he doesn't remember a single Primary song (what a tragedy!), but also if you have ever heard him sing, you will understand why it would put an immediate larger than life smile on my face! I remember when we first started dating we went Stadium Singing (a typical Sunday evening activity for students at BYU-ID where hymns are sung under the stadium bleachers and it is echoed across the general vicinity) and he certainly can't carry a tune in a bucket, but he was singing those hymns loud and proud! I couldn't resist giggling a little bit, but mostly I was smiling up at him with a great admiration for his enthusiasm for the hymns, an attribute that a lot of grand vocalists and musicians lack. Besides, he gets this little boy earnest look on his face that is too hard to resist! I love that man! It may be hard to get him to show excitement or enthusiasm, and he may have a grumpy look on his face most of the time, but he is 100% True Blue, through and through! He works harder than 10 men put together! And he takes care of me...I love him! So here is to the man in my life!
