I’ve recently been re-acquainted with an old friend and to be honest, it’s quit pleasant.  I’ve known him all my life.  his mother and my mother have been friends since they were 12 years old and they’ve kept their friendship going.  i don’t know where my mom’s girlfriends husband is from but he proposed to his wife, right here in my home town, in an old hotel that is unfortunately not up and running. ever since i can remember they have been coming up here to the lake  to camp and have fun on their boat.  when i was little i would spend the week and camp with them but around the junior high age, i stopped hanging out with them because i was gone or the boys were gone.  oh by the way, they have 3 boys, one of which is the one i’m talking about.  his name is Danny and he’s a year older than me, Chris is two years younger and Andy is a couple years older.  i remember when we were little, we were the best of friends, camping with them was like seriously the highlight of my summer.  anyway, i haven’t hung out with them in years and years and so this summer i went and hung out with him and his younger brother and his two friends.  being the person that i am, i didn’t say much at all but i still had a really good time.  i know that i made Danny jealous by picking his younger brother to be on my volleyball team…haha it was pretty funny and playing volleyball was definitely an ice-breaker.  Anyway, so we’ve been talking a lot ever since his camping trip ended and it’s  been pretty nice.  he used to be like a brother to me…in fact his family is like my family.  i remember his dad wanted me to move in with them in high school for sports because he knew that i play soccer, he wanted me to have better coaching or something like that, he was totally serious too because Andy (the older brother) was moving out for college.  anyway, it was nice visiting them because they are an amazing family and i’m really glad that me and Danny have rekindled our friendship. i can’t wait for the 4th of August because that is his birthday and he invited to hang out with him and his buddy’s.  it’s nice to have an old friend
