It's been ages since I last posted. I seem to be going at a rate of about one or two posts per year, but I haven't given up! We've just been really busy! I've got some exciting ideas for content, so stay tuned. For my two followers (yay!) if you're still out there and interested, the husband and I are still going strong and growing and learning together. The biggest change has been parenthood! Our little guy is turning 2 this month. It's been said before, but the time really does go by so quickly! Check out his mini fro!
I hope to post some more pictures and share some of our adventures as a mixie family!
Love, joy, and peace to you during this holiday season!

ReplyDeleteI am an african american woman as well in a relationship with a Sri Lankan man and it's so funny how we google pictures of babies or even other couples that look like us and find nothing at all. I was so excited to come across your blog. I hope you delve more into this topic and share more tidbits of your life b/c although him and I are 100% perfectly compatible we do experience some bumps in the road that are challenging especially from his relatives. I'm working on learning Tamil at the moment to attempt to make things a lot more smoother. I would love any advice or insight you can share :) we can connect on facebook as well: https://www.facebook.com/MathansSophia
ReplyDeleteHi S Simpson! Thanks for following the blog! My husband and I are similar in that we are very compatible (similar family values, we find most of the same things funny, we like ice cream and brownies, lol), but yes, there are some bumps in the road. He is ethnically Sinhalese and sometimes there are cultural things, even with him having grown up in the US, that I don't get--and vice versa! I hope you keep following! :)
DeleteHi S Simpson! Thanks for following the blog! :) I hope to post more once I am not in class a million days a week! :)))
DeleteHello Ladies, my name is Donald, and I have married to my Sri Lankan Tamil wife for six years. We have one little boy (4), and a new born little girl. I'm glad to know that there are other couples like us. We are now living in Australia! Please keep posting.}
ReplyDeleteHi Donald,
DeleteBelated congratulations on your little girl! Thank you for following!
I remember when I first started dating my Fiance` nearly three years ago and I googled AA & Sri Lankan and came across your site. I am engaged and very very happy! It is good to see you all doing well. I attend all of his friends events and even thought I am out going and friendly it seemed like it took a long time for his friends GF & Wives to open up to me. Your son looks like his Dad! So Cute! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBelated congratulations on your engagement! Sometimes it can be challenging to be in a room full of Sri Lankans when no one is speaking English. You just sort of sit there and nod and smile--haha! It took a while for me to adjust to some of the social norms--especially the ladies. At least in my experience the socialization is a bit more segregated along gender lines and it takes a while for folks to loosen up. Luckily, my husband and I have a very diverse set of friends and shared acquaintances that we spend time with. Keep being yourself and best of luck in growing those connections! :)
DeleteThank you for following, Just_SHERI!

DeleteThank you for your blogs. They are very encouraging. I have recently started talking to a man from Sri Lanka. He appears to be a very good man with great values. I am an African American woman and this is something new for me. Reading your blogs and others stories on your site lets me know that there is hope and that their is a possibility he and I may workout. So thank you and also everyone who has shared their story. I am looking forward to reading more of your blogs in the future. Once again thank you.
DeleteThanks for following, Lessie! I love my Sri Lankan husband! :)
DeleteHi, my names Chel, and my culture background Haitian American, and I like reading what you've shared. I've been talking to a guy from SL for a year now, I'm going to visit Sri Lanka in a few weeks, and it all feels surreal to me. Your pictures are lovely and your sons adorable. I feel skeptical about loving someone so far, and wish he was here with me but it's all new. I expect the best on this adventure, but usually when I say Sri Lanka no one seems to even know it exists, until I explain tea and spices are mostly from SL, sometimes my SL bf says I'm turning lankan, lol whatever that means, but I hope you do keep posting.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm June. My husband grew up in Sri Lanka, I grew up in California and we have three grown daughters. My husband is a very kind man with a gentle heart. We love each other. Hope your visit to Sri Lanka went well. Wish you the best. Hope this blog picks up again.
DeleteHi, my name is June and I am married to a Sinhalese Sri Lankan who grew up in Sri Lanka. We have three grown daughters. We met in Sri Lanka. Chelei I hope that your trip to SL was enjoyable. Would love to hear about it.
Hi, I'm June. Hope that your blog takes off again. My Sri Lankan born husband made me aware of it. My husband and I are empty nesters. It is good for all ages to share. Hope this blog will continue. It has a great beginning.
ReplyDeleteHello guys. So I recently started seeing a Sinhalese fellow. I am definitely falling for him. He’s very sweet and a gentle soul. I really want to see where things are going. The only thing I’m concerned about is my family. They are very close minded people. Can someone tell me how they worked through this issue. I’m AA btw lol
