Sad to hear, but you gotta do what's best for ya. Wife and I are going through something similar, albeit not as drastic (moving from the bay to sac). I'm having to take a severe pay cut by doing consulting full time instead while the wife gets to simply transfer from the Oakland office to the Sac office, while still charging the same rates, effectively making her the breadwinner of the family (nothing wrong with that apart from my damaged man-ego).
