There was no decision process for me to go through, i dropped what i was doing at the time and moved back for my family. In a scale of importance for my happiness there is 1-family, 2-friends, 3-job, and 4-everything else.Consider your own household. Would moving cause stress on your family as your wife and daughter may be loosing friends / social groups. Are they both comfortable in moving to a totally new area where they may only know one or two people total and reestablishing themselves.You mentioned a sister on the east coast as well, how close are you and would you be closer emotionally if you were nearer for support.Regarding the Job front I am of two minds. Personally i am quite conservative, and would probably end up staying in the current area. Money isn't everything and there are always ways to make things work, no matter how distasteful.You must be considering the job in VA pretty seriously if you are mentioning it as one of your three options. Don't let me talk you out of it if that is what would make you happy.All in all, I wish you luck in finding the right choice for yourself. Whatever you choose remember you will always have your true friends to back you up.</blockquote>
