[quote=Anonymous]I too went to DC around 23 years old, stayed for 10 years - got married, had a kid, got pregnant with #2. My two siblings ended up moving to DC during the time I was there as well and they got married and started having kids. Youngest one moved to South Carolina last year and the other one moved out close to WV for work so I was left here with my immediate family and really missed them. My dad has a place near the younger sibling and DH and I were so ready to make a decision to move - so we did.

My siblings and I are very close and DH isn't from this country and doesn't have family here. So we moved a couple months ago to South Carolina and could not be happier - it's cheaper, no traffic and best of all, my kids get to grow up with their cousins, who live five minutes away. I get to see my dad more than a few times a year and DH and mine's job were able to transfer here. Family is super important so hence our decision to get out of DC. I don't miss it at all. My mom died eight years ago and everything changed - it was so hard and still is. If she was alive, she would have moved to be close to her kids and grandkids or we would have moved to be close to her. My DH and kids and my family are so important to me and I don't want to miss anything because we didn't make the decision to move to be closer together (but that's just me - everyone's relationship with their families are different).

Good luck with your decision OP![/quote]
