Welcome ME to blog world and welcome YOU to our page!

Hey there...I'm excited to start sharing pieces of our life with those who visit..... For my first post what better place to start than the beginning (well at least the beginning of "us") and bring you up to now.....here we go

this is Brad, not too soon before we met :)



and then there's Me......


                                                  

We lived a bike ride away from each other most of our lives and started dating at the ripe ole age of 14


                                          

He asked me to marry Him on New Years Eve 1998 ( I was 17!!)... We ended up getting married in August of 2001...


                                          


He knows more about me than anyone else and vise versa..We have been through EVERYTHING together- high school, a little bit of college, beauty school (which means EVERY hair color on me..AND Him)...broken bones, tragedies, laughs.. a ton of laughs, trips, moving to Kansas City, then Atlanta, and now Wyoming!! It has been an amazing blessing and honor to have shared this many years with the man that God made for me...now it all sounds fabulous, which don't get me wrong, it has been, but we have also been through the worst of times together, lots of heart ache....and ok yes...a few silly mistakes!!!


                                       

The Lord blew our minds when He gave us Rylan in 2005 and then Bridger 3 years later.. the boys were both born in Kansas City and are truly made for our family...they both are just like us ( along for the ride, ready to experience new things, and easy adapters) which is great for the journey of travel the Lord has has us on....but they always LOVE going back to our home town to see grandparents and other family



                                               

Well that is the skinny on our Love story and family.....the best Love story is the one the Lord has written about our lives with Him...it is the reason why He put us together in the first place because all along He has had a plan for this family to love Him with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength..and to take this Love and share with others our lives as He has so graciously given!!.....so that will be my attempt with this blog along with some great pics and probably some funny stories I'm sure......So here we are...The Olnhausen's....living out our calling to be in Wyoming and spread the love of Jesus for His glory................and bloggin it up!!!!!!!!

  2. Becks - this looks wonderful! I love it!! ps: you do know how hard it was for me to take that picture of you two on the phone in my room that day? Being so close to my things...messing up all my stuff...you probably wanting to wear one of my shirts...me thinking, "man, I wonder where that little punk's Starter jacket is?"...yikes, I am getting goose bumps just thinking about it! I thank God for bringing me around to acceptance of all that was you and Brad all those years ago. And since then...well, you two are a rare few who speak truth into my life and I could not love you both more! Then there is my Ry Guy and Bridgie Boo Boo - don't even get me started! I am proud of what you have done here - and for sharing it with the world! Love your big sis :)
