Earlier Kimleighel had messaged her friend Derek to see what his plans were for the day since he didn't have school. She was even brave enough to put that she had the day off too. (she added "ha ha") I was nervous for his response and I was really hoping he would respond. I hadn't met Derek but hear a lot about him. We knew he was planning on exercising and was really hoping that was why he hadn't responded to Kimi. We decided to go to lunch anyway instead of waiting for his reply. About the time we both felt full, Derek replied to Kimi...."want to get some lunch". We laughed and Kimleighel replied with "sure.". When he asked how much time she needed to get ready she said 15 minutes since that's how long it would take us to get home. ☺
Derek picked Kimleighel up on time and they went to Zuppa's and Kimi ordered soup/sandwich and was able to eat the soup but then fessed up why she couldn't eat the sandwich. I'm glad that her "bravery" paid off and I really hope that Derek will take her out again. I did meet him when he picked Kimi up and he seems like a really nice guy. Fun times and hard times squished together!
