This past weekend I went home to San Diego to celebrate Dez's Birthday at Onyx/Thin and Father's Day on Sunday. In between I got a chance to hit up the SD Fair with Jon, Cart and Kim. Let me just say, that a little alcohol, some fair food, carnival games and some really ridiculously funny friends is the best cure for feeling sad. Sometimes the best thing is to just pick yourself up and accept that the LIFE you ENVISIONED is not going to happen while you sit and mope. I am totally an advocate for giving yourself a day or two to cry but it's the tough ones who bounce right back and LOVE THEIR LIVES and better yet, change their attitude and keep it movin.
Oh and Happy Father's Day to my Dad. One of the funniest and hard-working men I know. For anyone who has ever met my Dad, you'll know that he is full of life and laughter to everyone he meets. I am so blessed to have the Dad that I do. He's taught me so much about trusting in the Lord, working hard and NEVER cheating other people, respecting everyone that I come across even when they've done you wrong and always keeping family first. He's the best example of a father to me and one of the two reasons why I push myself so hard to WIN in this life. At the end of the day, when all the awards are given out, all the leadership positions are over, all the graduations are done, the way my parents look at me when they are proud of me, is all I ever need. Everyone also knows that I am the biggest daddy's girl that will NEVER change.
As I've gotten older, my Dad has ALWAYS been right (as much as I used to hate to admit it) and as I got past my tough teen years, I've grown a respect for my Dad that I don't give anyone else except for my Mom. My Dad is one of my best friends and I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today if it wasn't for all the sacrifices he and my mom made just to make sure my brothers and I were happy. I love you Dad! :)
