the THomases Tell us about your family. Jason & Marthesia Thomas We’ve been married for ten years. We are the parents of one smart, football loving, and outgoing son Jalen Carter (7). I graduated from from Florence High School and Marthesia from Pearl High. We enjoy attending car shows, watching our son play flag football, reading books, and attending FHS athletic events. How did you meet and how long have you been married? We met at a social gathering that I was hosting in the summer of 2007.She was invited by a mutual friend. We exchanged numbers and through extensive conversations and spending quality time, we knew our friendship would evolve into something more. Seventeen years later, we are happily married with a seven-year-old son. Do you allow time to be with your spouse for a date night? Date night is extremely important in a marriage; however, our date nights usually consist of a plus one. It is extremely important for us to exemplify a godly marriage in front of our son because we truly value trying to model what a healthy relationship should look like. What brings you the greatest joy as a parent? The love and affection a child shows you is one of the greatest joys as a parent. To be loved unconditionally by someone so small and so dependent on you lets you know that you are doing something right. Who is the financial manager in your home? We both assume the responsibility of managing the household finances. This gives us both peace of mind and allows us to share the weight of the financial responsibilities. Hometown RANKIN • 19
