5th Anniversary is the Fort Anniversary, Right?

People said we were "just kids" when we got married 5 years ago, but I thought I was so grown up and adult. Those people didn't know what they were talking about.

Look here, we are doing a very grown up, staged wedding kiss:


And that resulted in great big grown up smiles:


Okay, so half of our pictures I look like this:
I blame him for my ridiculous laughter--wait, blaming is childish--scratch that!

We were elegant while dancing:


But we kept looking at our feet to make sure we didn't step on the dress or trip or embarrass ourselves (yes, that is Buffalo Betty in the back there!):


We never sat down the whole night, we talked grown up talk, and were delightful host/ess...this would be the one time we sat down
and we did our secret handshake (which is very grown up--we don't spit or anything)

And okay, he dropped me during our final dance:
but I thought it was hilarious. However, KW hates this picture. See he is more grown up that my own very grown-up-ness.


In celebration of our 5th anniversary and our more grown up nature, we were thinking about going out to a lovely restaurant, dancing, staying in a hotel...but then it dawned on us that we don't want to be grown up yet:

So we built a fort on our anniversary, ordered pizza, and watched countless hours of old movies, which may or may not have included Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey:


Penny was happy because she got to stay in the fort with us all day (it is a family fort)


The construction of the fort was a big deal. We both had ideas of what was best. KW decided to use more of a lean-to construction so that we could see the TV.
At one point of "debating" the construction, KW said, "boys build forts, girls cook." To which I said, "Doody Head" "would you like to be married for another 5 years?"

But it is a good thing that we didn't go out, cause it looked like this:
ALL DAY LONG

10 hours snuggled in a fort, eating pizza, and being silly may not make us QUALIFIED ADULTS yet, but it sure makes us happy.



**I need to give a shout out to Sandra and Greg our wedding photographers. They saved the day when my mom decided to fire our wedding coordinator (don't ask!) and our getaway car blew up. Go over to their site and be prepared to be amazed!**
