Yeah, I know... Though I doubt that even if we were to find the exact same jobs we hold now (hub's a mold-maker for a toy prototyping company; I'm a web dork/coder/content manager/media encoder), we'll get paid the same salaries as in LA.

God's honest truth, though; I'd prefer it if hubby could find work that would pay enough to support us without my having to work outside the house. My kid's in 6th grade, and I'd like to be HOME and available while she's going through those painful and scary teenaged years; since I haven't had any time to experience staying at home (other than when I was gravely ill -- so even then I didn't get to be the GOOD kind of stay-at-home mom).

I just don't want to look back 20 years from now and realize that I spent all my time working so hard that I never got a chance to enjoy my family and life; and the way it's going right now, that's where I'm headed.
