Lucky 13...

Ya Hey Der! Only 13 more days of school! Woo Hoo!!! Our (Rochester Public Schools) last day is June 9. In the meantime, Mike is done with daytime classes, but is still teaching an evening class for Compass students. He is working on curriculum and planning for the next school year in his office during the days. Jim has his final choir concert this week. Then finals, graduation practice, graduation itself, parties and open house! The girls will all be here for graduation. The boys will not (boo hoo). Though AJ is planning to come with Michie, but it's not definite yet. AJ graduated from his college, Christopher Newport University, last weekend. They are hoping to have an apartment SOON! Michie will be done with work in Newport News this week and hopes to move into that apartment by the end of the month. She will start a new job at Prison Fellowship Ministries on June 1. So that's the Benson news! Bye for now!

All About Jim...

This is Jim with his new car. One day in April, he was unfortunately rear-ended. It totalled his little blue Focus (Ezekial).boo hoo! Fortunately, Dad found him a nice 2005 Hyundai Elantra. yeah! Don't they both look grand?!

Here is Jim with his girlfriend, Christina. They went to Mayo High School's prom last night and had a great time! What cuties! I've got to say, I think my son is one handsome dude!

Jim is 18!!!

Our Jimmy is now 18! He celebrated his birthday on May 2. We didn't see him much that day. Mike and I were at the Crossroads College graduation that morning. Jim worked (Petsmart) in the afternoon, and then he went to a friend's house where they celebrated his birthday. The next day (today) we went to church, took Jim out to eat at his favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings, and then took his cake over to grandpa's. This is our 3 generation picture. Soon to come... more graduations, a new car for Jim (when I get a picture), and someone's wedding :)!
