I think you made the right decision! You should have no regerts.

To be honest a lot of people talked about career development was a reason for going. I guess that is true if you are willing to stay living there but for me and my wife it was hard to find something out of DC when we decide it was time to move, we were simply to expensive for most places. I intial took a small pay cut but have since made it up but my wife was actually able to land a promtion. Any who we made that big move in 05 and the quality of our lives has been better every since.

My dad just recently retired and move here form NOVA (Fairfax City). At first they were afraid they be bored up here but now they love it. They can't stop saying how nice people are around here and what a blessing it is to drive anywhere without a boat load of traffic.

I think you are in a good place (Lancaster) making a good salary at a great age, you should enjoy your life, you are lucky to have it.
