Very cool to have lifelong friends!
We moved around a lot in my younger years, I'm lucky to have one best buddy I've adventured and laughed with since 9th grade.
Something we were able to do differently, our Son was born, raised and self ejected from the same house, still has people he knew in preschool around here.
Thanks Bugs!
