Tulsa for a wedding!

A week from Thursday, I flew from Dulles just outside of D.C. to head home to Tulsa for the weekend to go to a Chi O sister’s wedding! I got to Tulsa with just a minor delay in the DFW airport, got picked up by two of my favorites (DP and Laura) and then hit the sack for the night (it was way past my NPS bedtime). On Friday I was reunited with some Tulsa friends during the day—we ate some snowcones and did some shopping. That night we headed to McNellie’s for an everyone-who-is-in-town-for-the-wedding reunion, where I was also reunited with none other than Cassie Beth herself who flew in at 10:30 pm and is now back in Tulsa for good. Saturday was filled with getting stuff out of our warehouse, moving stuff into my new house and Cassie’s new loft, and lunch on the rooftop of El Guapo’s for a friend’s birthday. Saturday night was reserved for wedding activities and it was so fun for everyone to be back together again—it was the first time since graduation! Sunday I packed up and headed back to the airport to go to DFW and Dulles (thank the Lord I got at least a little bit of Texas time to tide me over until I’m back for a few days) and then drive back to the park. This past Tuesday was the all employee meeting and tonight was the volunteer recognition luau—both of which indicate that the summer is coming to a close. Three from our office will leave the 21st, and then a couple will stay on with me until my last day on the 27th. Monday we’ll plan where we take our group work trip, which will probably be next Friday during the day. And tomorrow I get to go with another seasonal and our park superintendent to Glen Echo National Park in Maryland for another appreciation event for all the parks in the National Capitol Region! This weekend and the next will be low key—getting in my last bit of hiking, exploring, and shopping at the outlet mall before the fam gets here to visit! (Also trying to study for the GRE and hoping that Panera’s internet will run fast enough to actually get anything accomplished, i.e. looking for a job!)
