He’s Here
Welcoming our son, Nazareth Konstantin Olsen. After a long journey, God gave us this precious gift and reminder that every child is a miracle.
Sweet Birthday Boy
Happy Birthday, Sweet Noah! My sweet Noah is FIVE! Where does the time go? I remember the day Noah was born like it was yesterday. He is very special to me because he was the answer to many of my prayers. I loved having his 2 big sisters, but I wasn’t sure if God would bless […]
Birthday Blessings
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. This is one of my favorite photos of us. It was taken the […]

Real love is everyday. It’s not always the fairytale romantic love we’re all sold when we’re kids. It’s moments watching your handsome, hard-working husband love on your daughter and share his knowledge with her. Watching your beautiful child laugh with the man you made them with. Last week, Norm and Graci worked on our family A-Team […]
Our First Business
Hard to believe we started our first auto repair service business in this truck over 13 years ago! Our 1982 Chevy Blazer was our 4 wheeler and just a toy, so we thought! God had bigger plans for it and for us! We started our first business in 2002, when I was very pregnant with Graci […]
