Isn't that funny?! The "Best Dad in the Whole Wide World" just so happens to be MY dad. Man, I'm a lucky kid! (And I'm that super adorable one on the right)
This guy is awesome. Amazing, actually. In fact, I'm going to take some time to brag on him. He owns and manages his own company. Make that 2 companies. And in his free time, he's studying to be a pastor. Oh, and he works at church part-time to learn pastor-y things. Plus, he's part of my family, so that'll keep anyone ridiculously busy. I think I have a full plate, but can you imagine his schedule?! I feel I do nothing with my life in comparison. On top of all of that, he ALWAYS helps me when I need it. Whether it's life advice or filling out paperwork for me or listening to me vent about all these dumb scientific names I have to memorize, he's there. He's always interested in hearing about my life, and Dad, I really appreciate that. Even with your busy-ness, you make time for me and I love it. I'm also almost never home (less than 2 months out of the year), but when I am home, this guy has lunch with me, watches my favorite TV shows with me, and teaches me how to shoot guns. Did I mention he's the best dad ever??
I was going to be bummed that I couldn't celebrate with my dad because of my seclusion on the island and whatnot, but then my family was uncharacteristically spontaneous, and it was AWESOME. They all decided on Thursday afternoon to come see me at DISL!! An hour after the decision was made, a hotel room was booked and they were driving down. They were here with me until Saturday, so we got some quality family time in. We ate way too much delicious food, enjoyed some quality beach time, had wonderful adventures, and were rule-breakers (because rules were made to be broken, duh!). Yes, we Boecks were impulsive, adventurous, less-than-legal, and proud of it. Sometimes we like to live on the wild side, and I guess that was us these past couple of days. This island brings out spontaneity in people, I'm just sayin. (Anyone else want to visit and go crazy?!) Anyways, these were a few freakin fabulous days, so thank you wonderful family, for being you.
Shoutout especially to the man of the hour:
You are a wonderful role model, and I would be lucky to grow up to be as awesome as you! You're brilliant, hard-working, encouraging, confident yet humble, and realistic yet positive. I respect you immensely, and I am so proud that you are my dad. Thanks for being awesome, for accepting me, and for encouraging me. You're Incredible.
^Incredible like this guy ;)

P.S. 33 days until I see you all again!! Weeeeeeeeee!
