My Secret is Revealed!

Drum roll please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ricki and John are moving to Oklahoma City, soon.  I can't believe it.  

John has just been offered the job of CEO at Epworth Villa, a retirement community only a 1/2 mile from our house.  Couldn't be more perfect.  

I have never lived in the same town with Ricki & am looking so forward to it.  Mother is ecstatic. She really had a hard time last summer when I left for the summer and Kenna needed to spend a lot of her time in OKC helping her.  This way Ricki will be here helping when I am away. 

John & Ricki have been here this weekend for a reception with the Board of Directors.  They wanted to meet Ricki to see if she was on board with this move, too. John will meet with the Board again tomorrow for contract negotiations.  He will probably start work around December 1st.  Ricki will stay in Olathe to work, sell the house and for Chris to finish the semester. Hopefully the house will sell fast and they will be able to come soon.  

Tom and Judy (John's parents) will be coming too. I was ready for all of them to move into our neighborhood but Ricki & John need a bigger house.  Tom & Judy may move into our neighborhood if they find one they like. 

We spent the afternoon looking at houses in the Parade of Homes. They would like for Ray(Ricki's son) to build a house for them in this area of town.  We will see if it works out.  

They have a lot to settle and plan in the next few months.

Ricki looks so good.  She has now lost 101 lbs.  She says she has twenty more lbs that she wants to lose. She is amazing!! The training for our walk in November has helped her a lot.  She has skinny legs.
