My fiancee grew up in Pangasinan province, where her father farmed rice. Her father is still there, but she and her siblings moved in with her ate in Taguig. I grew up in central Ohio, and that's my official residence, but as an over-the-road truck driver, I consider the sleeper berth to be my home. Once she gets here, she'll be traveling the countryside with me.
