Our departure date shifted a couple times (how shocking) from when we initially had planned to fly back to Porto, to when we actually did, giving us a few extra weeks in KC. Saying goodbye this time was hard...very hard. I think I had numbed myself to the inevitable and was trying to think of the positives our Portuguese life provided to help with the sadness I knew we would feel. I was craving a routine, of which was hard to accomplish living at my parents and not knowing from week to week if we'd still be in KC or not. Andy was on the road every other week flying back and forth, which was getting old and the state of the "unknown" was wearing on me.
With that being said, I knew the day would come that we would come back to Porto, but wasn't prepared to say goodbye to the life we love so much in KC. The past two months was the best vacation filled with the people and things we love the most!
Sitting here as I type this post, I am so grateful for the few extra weeks we got to spend at home and added time we got to spend with family and friends. The next 4 months are going to be very difficult being away, but have great memories of the time we were home and fun trips and visitors to look forward to!
