Ultimate Blog Party 2011!

I came across this annual even over at Shauna's blog! I went and checked it out and it looked like a fun way to meet new bloggers/people!! So I am going to share a little about my blog and myself!

My name is Natalie. I have been blogging for a year and three months on blogger and I've met SO MANY awesome, beautiful people! I love sharing with other Moms and sharing our daily lives in photographs!

I am a photo challenge junkie! I do them almost every day and if not every day I jam a few day's worth in one post! (Those of you who have been following a while know this ;)

I am a Mother to One and a Wife and those are my two most important jobs in the world and I wouldn't trade being either for ANYTHING! I love my life the way it is. We have ups and downs and good and bad days just like any other couple and family but it's never a mountain we can't climb!

I am a Christian who puts every ounce of faith into God above, I believe that He is the Savior and I've accepted Him into my heart to stay! There's nothing we can't do with God on our side!! He is an awesome God!

I have my degree in Medical Transcription...Gradutated in '07 and I acutally worked from home at TWO financial transcription firms while I was pregnant with my son, Dillon during 2008.

On May 5, 2007 I married my best friend in this world, Jon. He is absolutely my soulmate, we were simply made for each other. He's the butter to my bread and I'm the peanut butter to his jelly! He has absolutely proven himself to me to be faithful, hardworking and loving and is always on my side and has been there for me and with me through every obstacle we've ever faced. We started dating July 3, 2003 and so we were truly "high school sweethearts". I love him so much and my love for him only grows daily!

On December 7th, 2008 I gave birth via C-section to a 8 lb 3 oz 21 1/4" bundle of pure love and perfection...Dillon Howard. He is now the center of our world, the reason we continue on this path we call life and our utter pride and joy. He is so smart, so beautiful and I am so amazed God loved us so much to bless us with something so special as having a child of our own. Someone to care for and who is apart of BOTH of us! I'm thankful everyday for my blessings!


I love photography, it is a passion that runs deep. I started a business late fall last year and did well but decided a few days ago that I was gonna put it on hold a while since my son was still so young and we're workin on bigger, better things in our life! But I will of course still continue to take photos of my life and family and will continue to do sessions for people who want them! Just taking a break from the 'commercial' aspect of it. If you would like to see some of my work head over and visit my WEBSITE.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoyed reading a little about me! Have a great weekend! I'm gettin out of here to enjoy our 60 degree weather!
