Awkward starts turning to friendships...

Life has been pretty good lately. I have recently started hanging out with some kids that live on the same street as me. The first time we hung out we threw my glow in the dark frisbee I got from a friend in High School. Then their grandmother needed help racking up the leaves that were on the driveway at the vacant lot next door to them. We had a good little chat.
Then the next time we hung out I awkwardly knocked on their front door. Then I saw the familiar faces through the window as they screamed, ¨Brittany`s here!¨ We played frisbee again even though we couldn´t see cause it was dark and it ended up getting stuck on the neighbor`s roof so that was the end of that.
Today we went to the neighborhood library and looked at some books. We didn´t have much time there till it closed. Brandon the 6 year old read a book to me. I am hoping I will get a chance to take them to the library again. At times I still feel out of place and wonder if I am in the right place. I have enjoyed awkwardly meeting people on my street and have been surprised at how easy it has been to build trust with them. I hope these relationships grow deeper.
