Dear Caleb,
We have listened to the song Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros so many times in my little CR-V. In the last few years, I'm sure I've included it in more than one mix CD. I know Home has turned into quite the white girl cliche these days, but it is a cliche that we can both relate to. We have shared so many big dreams in these few years of friendship. I know that your dream is do make music and share that music with the world. The world deserves to hear you, Cal. You have dreams that I would love nothing more than to see be fulfilled. We made our summer friendship bucket list not too long ago, and a lot of it is centered around the places we want to go. I can't wait to go to those places with you at some point.
What I love most about you is that you encourage me to dream hugely, and to not care about what is in my way. I admire the way that you persevere in your goals. That night we sat on the apartment stairs, I knew I wanted to go everywhere with you. If and when you tour, I want to go with you as your support and your little bit of home. When mix CDs of different songs turn into your own produced CDs, I want to be able to say that I was there through it all. I want you to remember your roots, and that is what the mug represents. Even though we can make our home anywhere, there will still be a little piece of us left in Springfield. I never want us to forget that.

Your mug was one of my favorites...I love the sentiment and I think Caleb will, too. He is lucky to have you and even though your friendship is in a bit of a transition phase right, it's worth holding on to people who really get you and love you anyway.
