We celebrated 2 milestones in the Thomas family. First, on May 30, JT and I celebrated 20 years of marriage! We've always said that we are the poster-couple for "opposites attract". As a result, our marriage has certainly had it's ups and downs, but we've grown up together and over the course of 20 years have discovered so many things about ourselves, our relationship and what it means to "meet in the middle". More now than ever, I'm so thankful for a husband that truly leads our family and consistently points each one of us to Christ. We're so excited to see what the next 20 years holds for us as a couple and for our ever-expanding family!
I truly was surprised and so thankful to spend the evening with incredible company! We had dinner and then headed back to our house (which had been cleaned by our girls) for cake and champagne. It was a perfect night that I will always treasure!
On Sunday, my actual birthday, our girls gave me the gifts they had made. Priceless!
On June 3, we celebrated milestone #2 - my 40th birthday! I really hadn't thought too much about this birthday - I know 40 is supposed to be the "big one", you know "it's all down-hill from here". But I really don't feel all that old and I do feel like my best years are yet to come - I think if I keep saying that, it'll really be true! :)
My husband is awesome with surprises and he always seems to have something up his sleeve when it comes to birthdays - one of the many things I LOVE about him! This birthday was no exception! The Friday before my birthday, he had my friend, Amy, kidnap me from work. He had arranged for us to have lunch, pedicures and manicures. He also had arranged babysitting for her kiddos - now that's a real man! I was thrilled to spend an afternoon with my sweet friend and you just can't beat the massage chair while getting a mani/pedi!
After a fun afternoon, I headed home to get ready to go out to dinner. JT and I headed to one of our favorite restaurants. We opened the door and were met by so many of our amazing friends and of course, "surprise"!

I love my girls and their beautiful hearts! The verse they wrote on the mug is Proverbs 31:26 "She opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue." I pray I'm that kind of woman!
I think about all that this next year holds and I feel so blessed by the amazing people God has surrounded us with to share in it!
