No, it's Fanime! And our dating-anniversary! Yaaay!
I told Sak that if they ever move the convention to a different date, we'll just move our anniversary with it. The event holds much more significance for me than the actual day, haha!
Anyway, the obligatory "Penga & Sak through the years" ~
2004: When we first met. See? We got along right away! Kindred spirits. And I was so not kidding about those cat ears!
2005: I'm kind of dissapointed by the lack of in-costume pictures I have. So I attached some pics of the costume construction at least. This is when we first started playing Maple Story, so we dressed as mages with slime hats!
2006: We got a wild rush of applause from the conventioneers for these retro throwbacks (five total). Until another group with better looking blocks showed up and one-upped us. I'm still bitter about it, too.
2007: The start of the big-paper-mache-ball-movement. The year we graduated college. We fought a lot during the creation of these costumes, cause they were oh-so-complicated. But we agree that it was worth it in the end, they were awesome. And now we collect all things Keroro and Tamama, as you know.
2008: Our first year out in the working world, with time AND money! We splurged on fabric that year, and made our most epic costumes to-date - digletts (from Pokemon)! (or dugtrio, however you want to look at it). Penga-bro is in the tall, angry one. And I don't know who that pikachu is.
2009: For some reason we wanted to do 2 different costumes this year. Cheese-kun from Code Geass (Sak and I took turns wearing him), and black mages from Final Fantasy, along with our friend Ed. Snuggies were all the rage last year, as you can tell. :)
2010: No costumes this year, but I know you'll all understand why. :) We just wore our yukata from our engagement pictures, since you've got to dress up a little, at least.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that this is one date-aversary that we will continue to celebrate, even after we are married.
{Happy #6, Sak! Here's to next year!}

So cute! I've had to stop going to Connecticon once I started seeing Adam because it's in the summer and I go visit him in England in the summer :( And now I feel like I'm on the wrong side of 30 to dress up. I miss it!
