Birthday Blessings

October 9, 2016 by the olsen family Leave a Comment

Today is my best friend’s birthday. I’ve been married to my beloved for 17 years next month. I wanted to post some of my favorite photos of Norm through the years because he’s still one of my favorite things to look at.

10 years married

This is one of my favorite photos of us. It was taken the day before we were married for 10 years at our family auto repair shop. It reminds me that we’ve always made time to have fun together, no matter what we’re doing. Time sure does fly by when you’re having fun!

This is him hanging out with our girls while taking a break at our family’s auto repair shop. This photo reminds me that no matter how hard he works for our family, he always makes time to spend with our children. He always makes sure that our children know they are loved by their Daddy.

Happily Married 2004

This photo was taken of us all the way back in 2004 on his 30th birthday! Norm was the first person to tell me I was beautiful. This photo reminds me how I’m thankful for him teaching me how to love myself no matter what my outside looks like, including with braces. He has given me the strength and courage to change the things I didn’t like about myself. He keeps encouraging me to better myself and to chase my dreams, even when I want to give up.

Daddy and his boy

This is Norm loving on our Noah when he was brand new. This photo makes my heart melt. I love seeing him with our babies. It always makes me want another baby. It’s a good thing I’m pregnant already, or I’d probably be going to ask him for another baby right now.

Baby Love with Daddy

Here’s another photo of him with one of our babies, Nehemiah. I can’t wait to see him snuggling another baby soon. I feel so blessed that I get to make babies with this man.

Still in Love

Baby, I couldn’t imagine a better life than the one I’ve had with you. Thank you for being the man who has stood by my side for the past 17 years, through thick and thin. May this be your best year yet ever! May we keep chasing our dreams together for many more years to come! You’re the best soulmate, best friend, best lover, best daddy, best everything that God could have ever answered my prayers with.

Happy 42nd Birthday to the love of my life!

I love you so much!

Mrs Olsen ❤️

Encouragement

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
~ 1 Timothy 6:12

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
~ John 16:33
