[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wow!
Is there anything about DC that you missed in KC? [/quote]

Really, the only thing we missed was our church community at Sacred Heart on 16th Street. It was a lot tougher coming back than we thought. We also came back East with our second child, who was born in KC. That definitely made the 2600 --&gt; 1100 square foot downsize even more pronounced.

I'll be here 10 years in September and my spouse for 14. In 371 days in KC, we truly felt that we had developed more friends/neighbors we could rely on in a pinch than we have in Washington. So many great people have moved on from our time in DC that this observation really spurred active thoughts of relocation.

The sense of community support we got from our neighbors when our second child was born in KC (surprise baby shower, child care for our oldest, and coordinated hot meals delivered to our home for a week) was absolutely humbling and are things I won't ever forget, no matter where we eventually end up. They knew we were &quot;short timers&quot; and treated us as if we had lived there for years.  [/quote]
