['I reconnected with one of my childhood friends and I even got to go to the house that we used to hang out in years and years ago.']
That is something I want to do when I get older, I miss the golden days!
Recently I met up with a friend that I knew years and years ago and I learned that he actually bought his house from his mom. We went there and had a few beers and it looked exactly the same as before, even smelled the same.
