When Jeff and I were dating, we kind of liked each other. A lot.
Marriage is pretty much the greatest thing that ever happened to me, but sometimes I miss the silliness of dating.
Wow, never thought I would say that.
But seriously though, how do you keep that same dating excitement in a marriage? In what ways do you keep a relationship from becoming a routine?
Not necessarily things that have happened, but things that I don't ever want to happen.

Sadly, I think 'routine' is as inevitable as life itself, it can be as comfortable as it is secure and challenging to do just what you're talking about, not get into 'routine' with your marriage. The good thing is your youth!
Some bits of advice:
Frequent showers. It is important to keep up on grooming standards.
Costumes. Clown costumes, Napoleon costumes (the hat is important), zombie masks.
Frequent hysterical 4 am arguments keep things fresh- wake each other up and just start screaming and throwing stuff!
VACATIONS to faraway lands, such as Nepal or Cambodia.
Experiment and learn new things together, like fencing, glass blowing, exploring caves, etc.
Participate in a drum circle at a local park- but remember, "never follow hippies to a second location."
Also, keep going on dates together!
