Thank you all for your kindness and sympathies last week when my grandmother past. I apologies for
not answering each and everyone but my wife and I where out of town and away from the computers to deal with my Grandmother's death. She lived in Washington County and we are in Lawrence county (both in PA) at the moment.
To make matters worse the day of my grandmother's funeral we got the news that my Step-mother's mom passed away. She and my wife worried it was going to happen.
But these past few days have changed my wife and I mind on some things and have made changes in our minds.
First off I we are seriously thinking of moving down to be near my parents and brother. Washington County seems to have more of an economic growth and better paying jobs. Also not to be cruel or bragging but I will inherit some money from my grandmother and my dad seems to think he can help us (my wife and I) to buy a home and still have enough in the bank.
So I just wanted to thank everyone again and any suggestions on the move.

There are some expensive areas, of course, but there are still many nice small towns. The area around the Meadows seems to be booming right now. The Marcellus shale drilling is being credited for much of the boom. Here is a recent article about the economy in Wash. Co. :

Best of luck to you both!
