A Couple That Dresses Up Together... Stays Together?

Erica's comment from my Sunday post ("you + Dan + Halloween = Perfection") got me thinking about how much I freaking love theme days, costumes, dressing up for a nice occasion, etc.


If middle school had a hat contest, I wore a freaking crazy hat. If high school homecoming week featured cross dressing day, you better believe I had a painted-on beard and a men's suit on. Camouflage day? Hell to the yes. I found a way to cover my entire body in shades of hunter green and khaki. If my office allows Halloween costumes, I'm dressing up.

Despite getting a few years older, my enthusiasm hasn't died down at all. And lucky me that I found someone who shares a mutual enjoyment of playing dress up. (Costumes, that is. Don't get any ideas, pervs.) Like me, the husband doesn't halfway do a costume or a theme day.

Here are a few photos exhibiting said mutual enjoyment:

80s Prom II (March 2009)

Ben's tacky Christmas sweater party (December 2008)

Bankhead to Buckhead party (April 2008) — for those of you outside of Atlanta,

basically we had a party with a "preps versus gangsters" theme

(preps not pictured here)

Dan runs the 2007 Dahlonega Halloween 5k with my sister Anna,

dressed as a 70s marathoner, of course

First 80s Prom (September 2007)

Halloween 2009's Billy Mays and OxiClean

And he dresses up nice, too. :)

Wonder what the next occasion will be...
