We’re the original 43Things love story.

Except despite innuendo, we’re just friends, y’all. But I do love this girl.

Last night I said goodbye to Agent99 while dropping her off at her parents’ house, drunk and reeking of cigarettes. Just a typical Monday night hanging out with CaseyLeighT.

Highlights of the past 3 weeks with 99: shopping at Target together, introducing her to my pals, buying boots together, and sitting in Panera Bread with our laptops, signed into the google chat while sitting across from each other.

My best buddy is about to embark on another adventure tomorrow and then will be returning to New Haven for her last semester in graduate school. I’m so proud of her for so many reasons and hope wonderful things come her way, because she definitely deserves it.

Be brave and have fun, 99. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, which doesn’t really limit you in the slightest. I hope your parents weren’t too mad last night and that you didn’t trip up the stairs again.

<3 you.
