Very much so, BW, but it took a lot of sacrifices to get here:

1) Two years, five days a week working after "work" contacting schools long distance, tailoring resumes to fit their needs, etc, before getting a job;

2) Moving 3,000 miles from home, leaving wife behind to finish her contract with the University, separated except for brief holiday visits, for months at a time;

3) Getting her here, her finding a position at a local University and then finding a house;

4) Taking a year to sell old house back "Home" then buying one here with a difference of -$124,000 and a five year loan to pay it off;

5) Finding new doctor, dentist, etc. adjusting to a rainy, wintery climate where a week could go by with only ten minutes of sun to show for it.
