Saying Goodbye To Kansas City

(Picture I took out at Weston with Crissy. We went to a wedding of two of our mutual friends.)

Well, here I am...still packing and getting organized for the move. We leave next Wednesday. Crissy leaves for North Carolina for a regional manager meeting. She is officially promoted this week. She'll be back next Tuesday night and that next morning we say goodbye to Kansas and Missouri and head west. While she is gone my job is to finalize everything so we are ready to move in a week. I still have quite a bit of packing to do and phone calls to make. So I'm staying busy. I didn't make it back to Belleville last weekend for the reunion because of the time crunch and financial conservation. Gas prices are beatin my butt. Crissy and I got a nice apartment in Scottsdale at the Camden San Paloma.
My new address will be the following:

6980 E Sahuaro Dr.
Scottsdale, AZ 85254

Things are changing and I hate to leave my family and friends. I'll miss everyone very much. I'm moving forward and excited for a change and new adventures. I know God has a plan for me and I know Arizona was definitely not a plan I would have made. When I was on tour and performing one of the shows in Phoenix, the artistic director of an improv/blackbox theatre (Space 55) came up and addressed me directly. She said she loved my work on stage and said I was very funny and would love it if I would audition for her company. I told her I wasn't local but recently told her I'm moving to the area and she is excited to meet me and hopefully she will have a postion for me in the acting company of Space 55.

I am also in the process of conditioning the cats for the 19 hour drive we'll make next week. I have to take them on drives so the get used to the car and know I'm not taking them to the vet. I also had to buy leashes for them so they can get out of the car when we stop. I'm hoping they won't freak out too bad.

I wish I could come see everyone before I leave but I neither have the time or money to do either. Crissy's family through us a nice BBQ going away party. That was nice. We all played poker. I lost and became the dealer. Bluffing is just not my thing I guess. However, since I'm in Phoenix, if anyone is up for a Vegas vacation.....just call....and I'm there!

That's all from me tonight. Crissy is spending the night with the staff from both of the studios here in KC. They're throwing a going away party for her in the Plaza. I'm staying home.

Love you all. Love to hear from you Mema. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Glad you are enjoying your time with JennaBen and Grams. Hope Dad had a great Father's Day. Love you all. Would love to hear from everyone. Missing you and I will be having a hard time leaving next week. Very sad to leave KC. Really, really love this city.

Jube.
