Cinco de Mayo - Lunch Date

So I had a number of appointments cancel today, and what was going to be a very busy day with appointment after appointment ended up with a lot of free time for... prospecting, I suppose.

Anyway, after getting some paperwork finished and working on some cases in underwriting, I noticed it was 11:30am, (close enough to lunch). I though it would be nice to go to Javier's for some Cinco de Mayo celebration. Not knowing what Shanda's schedule was I decided to give her a call and see if she wanted to pick me up for lunch. I caught her just as she was arriving at the supermarket and was able to easily convince her to alter he plans and join me for some food.

We got to Javier's restaurant and I sat by Maleah across from Shanda and Andrew sat by her. Javier's had live music which made it difficult to hold any kind of a conversation, but it was cute to see Maleah really get into the music. Because we couldn't really hear each other we just enjoyed being together.

After ordering and before the food came I thanked Maleah for being my date. At first she looked confused but then she seemed quite pleased by the fact that she was my date. Shanda flashed me a look which seemed to say "hey, what about me?" I clarified that while Maleah was my date, Andrew could be her date. She smiled at that, though Andrew wasn't too keen on the idea. I really didn't think Andrew would notice the assignments as he was busy shoveling in the Nachos, chips and salsa, etc.

Despite everything else that may be going on in life, thank goodness for daddy's little girls. Maleah is so cute and fun, it's hard to imagine what it will be like when Brooklyn is as old as Maleah is now and they both have me on a short leash.

Getting back to the office and being smothered by kisses from both Maleah and Andrew, I have to say I am truly blessed!
