February 1st 2017 Benjamin turns the big 4-0, 40 baby!

Benjamin turned 40! How did that happen?! It seems like yesterday we were at EFY posing for a silly picture because we were both kids from Tucson.

He didn't want a party he just wanted to do a hike. To celebrate his 40 years on this planet all he wanted was a walk-about. He took the day off of work and instead of doing it alone he asked John Collin to go with him. The night before we surprised him with hiking provisions, a carrot cake, streamers and balloons. Hopefully he wasn't disappointed, 40 is kind of a big deal. They hike Rincon Peak. Perhaps more impressively he recently ran a half marathon, 13.9 miles. Not bad from a man who said he would never be a runner. In fact  (unfortunately) he talked me into doing a Ragnar in April with him. Not many people's health and strength improve with age but Benjamin's has! Lucky attractive guy that he is! In church Benjamin is working with the Spanish ward and stake Primary in his High Council job. At work he continues to do great at his job, Raytheon is a great employer especially his boss who seems to always look out for him. As a dad he carpools the younger kids to school and wrestles the teenagers. Thank you Benjamin for the ongoing  adventures.
