Shoutout to my awesome dad

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Mothers and fathers day now mean a lot to me.

Not like I didn't think it was that important before, well, maybe just a secondary holiday of sorts.

But now I have to say, I want to use those days to make an extra gesture of love to my parents. 

Call me a cornball, I love my parents!

Now I don't want to go on too long and embarrass my pops, but seriously, he is both my mentor and idol in work and life in general.

I actually thrive off his energy and desire for perfect service at the restaurant, but also see him as one of the best role models I could ask for, and just love him to bits!!!!

I also have so much fun with my dad, and can tell him just about anything including the horrible things my alter ego Hobemma Valentine does, who's parents would listen to that???

So tonight, Matt and I went over to my parents for a dad's day dinner, I got to wear my favourite new dress from Aritzia and My embroidered cowboy boots, get my Grandma drunk and get myself loose enough to choose gross topics at dinner and then tell my parents about the last "physical" fight my brother and I had, when he grew to a man's size overnight, and after that doozy we chose to keep the peace and not tell on each other.

My mother was horrified when she heard that we actually grabbed knives and chased each other around the house with them, involved jugs of orange juice and then water, and I believe the entire debacle ended with me running out the front door down the block in fear of this "man" that used to be my little brother and punching bag.

Never again did I pick on my brother Daley.

I had never told her the full details of this craziness, but I had enough wine tonight to spill, spill spill.

Could you believe that my brother and I today have a wonderful relationship and never get up to any play-knifin' at all anymore.

DALEY IF YOU'RE READING THIS, LOVE YOU BRO!!!!

SO this was a Dad's Day shoutout, I'm getting a little off track here.

My father rules, and not just because he's my father.

I know so many people who only have great things to say about my father, and so many people know WHO my father is, and how well he does his job.

Best thing about me and my dads relationship is he and I share a common dislike for certain things.

Many things, people and stuff, but as to not embarrass him I will not share what these things are.... maybe I've already said too much.

Point here is I love my Dad and I wouldn't be the same person without him.

Here is one of the most special moments I've had with my daddy!
