If I remember correctly, your wife moved to OK, right?
Yep. To quote a line from one of my favorite movies "And so she walked out of my life forever" Doc Holliday

I will continue to follow, as you have been doing great.
Please do, I think that we can learn from each other the distance is a unique sitch and not everyone deals with it. It present a whole new set of obstacles to overcome.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the W moving, but it might be the best thing for us
This is good and bad. Seeing your W on a daily basis like say Denver or Bolt is tough. It is also hard to keep your emotions in check. The time apart will serve it's purpose if you use it correctly. It is hard and gut wrenching specially since you are keeping the kids. My D is my weakness. Also you can use the time away to detach and think. You will have your moments of anger when she does not call, this can be a benefit also. When she does call and you are going through anger, let the voice mail pick up. Take your time to call back when your mind is clear. Sound happy on the phone and be excited for her when something goes well. The most important part is to remember that distance and time can be your friend if you use it wisely.

The one thing I am looking forward to though, is the MIL moving out. I feel like she has taken complete advantage of me and my family. The W and I had a very heated conversation about this. W holds this against me.
My W and I talking only in reverse. I defended my M and she could not take it anymore. I was wrong she was right. With time apart she will come to the same conclusion.
