"That Couple"

You see Mr. C and I are that couple, you know the one that sits together on the same side of the booth. I know it is a little weird, but it is also kind of nice too. And to think I use to sometimes snicker at couples I saw doing this!

But this is not the real topic of my post today. C and I are obviously a little different. From our pictures you can tell that I'm black, but you can't tell that C is white and one fourth Asian. He is often told that he looks to be of Spanish descent, but not necessarily in those words.

So... we are technically considered an interracial couple, even though I don't usually refer to us that way.  When I talk about C, he's just C to me.
The guy who holds my heart (couldn't resist a corny phrase in there). 

I labeled this post "that couple" because...

~We are that couple that tends to turn heads when we enter a room, but we are  

   modest about being so attractive he he ha ha. 

~We are that couple that is always given a welcome back when we visit certain

   places because they "remember us".

~We are that couple that tends to surprise people when they are introduced to 

   the other half of our said couple. And that goes across the board.

~We are that couple that had to say goodbye in an airport in NC so that he could  
   serve overseas.
~We are that couple that tells each other just how much we love each other  
   on a daily basis whether through email, IM, or my favorite... video chat.

But what some people don't realize are our similarities, because they only see the outward differences.

We are both:

~College graduates and want to get our masters.

~Have the same faith.

~Have the same values.

~Are Family oriented.

~Working on getting settled in our careers and finances.

~Working towards marriage and "Pandas" ha
~Committed to maintaining and strengthening our relationship.
~And a bunch of other stuff! ha


We have not faced problems in our relationship due to our differences.  Both of our families support us, as well as our friends. We live in the Carolinas and there has been nothing other than the occasional long stare. 


So what about you all? What have been some of your experiences as:


~A military couple?
~Interracial couple?
~Long distance couple?
~Or just your experiences as a couple in general....
