Some of you might find that title slightly abrasive. However, being a bi-racial couple, Ryan and I are becoming more and more blunt with what color we are. I would say that is mostly a result of other people's reactions to us, rather than who we inherently are. Some of you might be thinking, “wait, isn't Ryan already black?” I should start writing down a list of all the ethnicities that random people assume Ryan is. Talk about entertainment. I will leave that question to him. Anyways, here is a picture of Ryan in California before we left and here is a recent picture of him. It is truly amazing to me how quickly he tans. After just a few short hours in the sun, he moves like 5 shades down the color scale.
In case any of you are wondering, I am developing a nice, golden tan at a much slower rate with a bazillion new freckles. Sunscreen (next to bug repellent) is my constant companion.
Want it. Need it. Love it.

Black isn't an ethnicity... It's an unfortunate misnomer for a racial category in many different ethnic cultures.

Thank you for making that point. That's always been my understanding but other people don't seem to agree. Could you pass that along?
