Ya know I've been thinking...
I used to have alot of friends in my neighborhood, that is until life happened and they grew up. So it's been quite lonely around here. However, there is this family with a daughter and son who appears to be around my age (17/18-ish) who moved in right across the street from me about a year ago. I've been thinking about how cool it would be to have friends who conveniently live that close to me whom I can hang out with whenever pretty much.

So, I'm making it a goal to become friends with them.

But I will admit, it will be a bit tough approaching them to start a friendship. There's a pretty good chance that if I went up to them and simply said "hi" it will end up creating an awkward atmosphere. So I've been trying to think of something to say that will start a friendly conversation in the least awkward way possible the next time I happen to see them outside.

I don't know their real age, their names, nor even exactly what their face looks like as I've only seen them from looking out the window. Pretty much know nothing about them at all. So it will be interesting getting to know them.

(In fact I will be referring to the girl as Kara and the guy as Gabe here.)

Suggestions of what I can say or do to start a bond with them would be much appreciated :D
