Answer

Thank you!  Haha!  I'm feeling pretty dumb right now for not realizing that.  I guess 보다 is used so much for some reason I didn't 'get it' when someone used it in a sentence in a way that was unfamiliar to me.  I thought it was a different structure or something.  Ahhhh.... one more lesson learned.  Thank you so much!

Answer

I guess you've wrote the verb ending -니, because 보니 consists of "보다(verb: see)" + -니. the ending -니 is used to indicate the causal relationship between the actions.

밥을 먹으"니" 배가 부르다. (You're stuffed. Why? Because you've eaten something.)

너를 보니 예전 친구가 생각이 난다.
