I think I'd interpret the job transfer a little differently. I'd see it as the higher ups appreciate having you there so much that they're willing to pay you more than they ordinarily pay in that position just to keep you from quitting.
There are lots of ways to gain (and measure) the appreciation of others than to be a high powered professional woman. You're on your way to a lot of that right now through your studies. And I think if you look, you'll see that you've gained it in your current position in your current company.
Plus all the benefits to family, future career, and stress reduction makes this seem to me like a dream come true.
But I *certainly* understand that even good change is scary.
