Is this spearmint?

Hi everyone, I have this mint growing in my yard (originally the people who live behind me were growing it but it spread underneath the fence). I think it's spearmint but I wanted to be 100% sure before I decided to harvest it and use it. I asked the guy who lived behind me if he knew what it was and he said it was already growing there when he moved in so he wasn't sure. It grows to be about 18 to 20 inches tall and gets long purple flowers. The smell is wonderful and smells like spearmint to me. Like I said, I just want to be sure. Thanks everyone! :)

It definitely looks like spearmint, including the way it is blanketing the area!
