Naomi's Two Month Update

Momma Update 

1. I will never judge a mother's body ever again.

---

To every single mom that was a mom before I became a mom, I must apologized to you for not realizing how resilient you are. You are my hero, my inspiration, my motivation, my answers.

To every single woman who hasn't experienced the pure-joy of being a mom, careful to pass judgement. Somethings you will never understand until you experience them for yourself.

• My first real desk on the eighth floor, where I met my husband and one of my best friends. 
• Spending many after-hours, getting to know David before I ever imaged we'd create a family together. 
• Moving offices four, five, six times...so many I can't count. 
• The year I spent supervising a handful of ladies and understanding the struggles and joys of being a supervisor. 
• Traveling for work. The excitement that was involved with my first business trip to the daunting aggravation that became regular, full flight trips to Houston. 
• Office girl chats and how finding a real friend in the office is one of life's little blessings. 
• Nights of volleyball followed by drinks at The Bulldog before we all started families and got too busy to collect pint glasses on Wednesday nights. 
• Spending so much time in Microsoft Office I had dreams about formatting documents. 
• Learning that all organizations have a little dis-function, but that's also the beauty of being human and working with different personality. It's what's in people's heart that really counts. 
• Working with vendors, colleagues, designers, and business owners who have all left a significant impression on who I am and who I want to be. 
• Coming to realize that when no one has an answer, you can find the answer for yourself. 

Sunday Currently (a shortened version). 

• "Pooh Kat". #thebrookiecookie, aka Brooklyn Bindewald's alter ego. "I'm not a homey, I'm a Pooh Kat." Brooklyn is my three year old niece, also debatably the most charismatic of my sisters' kids, clearly. 
• Carly Simon's "Coming Around Again" album on repeat. Well, as much 'repeat' as an actual vinyl record can allow; nonetheless, by the end of the trip David and the Matts (two of my sisters are married to men with the name Matt) were singing along with the rest of us. I would have bet money on the fact that our jamming to Carly could have jived the universe enough for her to make a comeback. And then she did, with T. Swift this past weekend in Massachusetts to preform "You're So Vain."  
• Luke growing an entire head taller from last year and actually maintaining his coordination skills on the wake board. (see the short video I put together for him from still photos -- practicing "action shots," but I still have some work to do in that department.)
• Mackenzie Nicole, my niece and the most athletic little seven year old you may ever meet, also held her own on the wake board. I had the joy of coaching her in the water and that little girl had some serious determination. 
• Bring Married had it's perks this trip too. David and I shared quite a few hours in the boat around the lake, me with my camera and him playing captain. A few of those pictures you will find below.
• 360. Yeah, that's right, I completed a 360 on the wake board (multiple time) without falling on my face. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
