This Benjamin


This boy has had quite the week. Three AP tests, a spring piano recital (where he played
Claire de Lune beautifully), finishing and presenting his final class assignments, taking his final
exams, several evenings at his job and ending it all with his last rec soccer game this afternoon.

He’s just so good, this Ben Allen. I can’t put into words how well he does what he needs
to on his own every day, is happy nearly all the time, is so ridiculously kind to his mom,
loves the Savior and always puts Him first and makes us all laugh constantly with
his one-liners. I’m so honored to be his mom and watch in awe at who he chooses to be.

Now on to some incredibly exciting summer plans and a whole lot of bonus time to play disc golf.

He deserves it, this boy. Oh he’s tremendous.
