The best photo taken at graduation, obviously. You did it, Gretchen! It's hard to believe it's been like half a decade since we first met and you (temporarily) fell for the siren song of my amazingly muscular calves. In that time, we've both been through a lot, but I am certainly better for having known you. You're still my best, most bug-obsessed, and possibly shortest, friend. Now that we are both graduated and old, I hope we will have many more adventures in St. Louis, Chicago, and elsewhere.
