Date Night: Canceled for the first time

Date night started when we lived in a hotel and had to eat every meal out.  Eating out became an annoying part of our routine.  It became something that would put us both in a bad mood.  A) There were only a few places that we knew how to tell the taxi and that had an English menu.  B) There were a lot of rainy cold days where we just didn’t want to try to find a cab or even leave the room.  C) It gets old after eating out for lunch and dinner every day.  We decided date night would be Saturday nights and when we called it a date, went to a nice restaurant and got dressed up it gave us a whole different perspective on our routine.  We decided to do something new or just do something different on this night and it would be something we look forward to all week.  Since we started it there have been weekends where we have been out of town or Sat. nights where we went to parties with friends but this is the first time we have had to sit down and decide if we were OK to cancel it (per our agreement…plans cannot be made on date night without a discussion).  Adam was invited to the Guangdong games as one of two representatives from Cree as guests of the local government.  He is (as I type this) having dinner at a banquet hall at the Kande hotel, and will we heading to the opening ceremony in police escorted shuttles to the brand new stadium built for the games.  Without hesitation I said GO!
