I'm with your Rob. Like I told my wife, simple living is what we do. Ever noticed how your expenses double up exponentially after a pay raise? I noticed that as I was going up through the ranks. I'm glad I quit drinking and smoking like I used to or else I would have never saved the money I could have wasted on booze and smokes.

I'm content as to how everything is going. We're all together, no more deployments and the time I get to spend with my kids can't be matched by any amount of money or material things.

We''l, let me get back to cooking some sinigang, pansit and lumpia for dinner. I have some old friends coming over tonight :).

Are you Filipino?

Yup, 100% born and raised in the Philippines. I joined the Navy in 1991 after graduating from college. Too bad my kids can't even speak the language. However, we go visit every year so they know their roots .

Whereabouts in Houston are you? My younger brother is an engineer at Johnson Space Center and we're able to stop by and visit him last October when we drove from San Diego to Jacksonville, Florida.

I am half Filipino. My mom is from Manila, and my wife's father is from Mindanao. We are on the north end ( The Woodlands) about an hour north of the space center. All you need for that meal is some chicken adobo.
