There hasn't been a whole lot of crazy in the last week. This week is just going to be more school, more work, and getting ready to go to Kansas City for a Chiefs game with the family! That'll be pretty exciting(even though we'll probably lose).

Birthday week - Late post
I'm 2 days late with my weekly post! This last week has just been crazy!
Tuesday night, my sister and her boyfriend went with me to the Dustin Lynch concert in Ames. He is absolutely amazing! Definitely a show I would LOVE to see again.
My 21st birthday was on Wednesday, and it was a blast! The family all went out to eat, and my brothers took me out after! It was a slow night given that it was a Wednesday, but still fun!
The rest of the week was kind of a blur, given all of the birthday excitement.
Then on Saturday, the whole family went out again to actually celebrate my birthday. Talk about a good time! We danced and drank...a lot! And then we all went to Denny's afterwards. I spent most of Sunday recovering, and we went to my grandpa's for some delicious barbecue Sunday night!!
And since I'm two days late anyways, I might as well mention the hell I went through yesterday. I was on my way to work and was driving down the road, and it sounded like I hit something with my car. I didn't see anything in the road, so I was really confused. But as I got further down the road, something sounded funny, so I pulled over to check out my car. I apparently must have hit something because my rear driver's-side tire was completely flat! Just my luck! Thankfully, some nice man came by and helped me change the tire, but the spare was a tiny little thing compared to the truck tires on my SUV. And on top of that, the freaking spare was low on air, and apparently has a little leak! So I had to go to work and dread going home with a crappy tire, but I made it alright. Hopefully my roommates will wake up at some point today so that I can take my car somewhere and replace the stupid tire. Yay me.

Birthday Anticipation
This week overall has been pretty great, but there were also some parts that made me want to tear my hair out!
Let's start with the negatives so that I can end on a good note and go to bed happy!
This week was homecoming week in Ankeny, so I knew that my nights would be busy. I was nowhere prepared for what happened...
Most of the week wasn't too bad, but Friday night was probably one of the worst nights I've had in the time I've worked at my current job. It would have been fine, but for some reason one of my young employees was sent home early, before hell resurfaced in my parking lot. Also, one of my closers went home sick, so I went from having 5 people it was just 3, myself included. Anyway, 2 buses full of teenagers came into my store at around 11:15(we closed at midnight since it was Friday). While they were filing in the door, a bunch of cars were coming through the drive-thru and more customers coming inside. Since there was just the 3 of us, I couldn't get the orders filled until I had taken every order. 45 minutes later I finished the last order of the bus kids and got them all out of the building, but of course there were those people that came in at like 5 minutes to midnight and decided not to take theirs to go, even though they knew that we closed in 5 minutes. I locked the doors and was finally able to get my work done at like 12:10. It was such a struggle getting everything done, and I got home at about 1:30am. Not the best night.
Enough of that; let's get to the exciting stuff!
I FINALLY got another tattoo! I had been wanting to get a Star Wars related tattoo for such a long time, but I had no idea where to go. This week chance was on my side. The tattoo shop that my sister goes to has an artist who absolutely loves Star Wars, even has a few tattoos paying homage to the legendary film saga. Despite this, she had never done one on anybody. I was only too happy to be her first! I set up an appointment with her to get a Death Star on my shoulder, so by the time I got there on Wednesday she had already drawn up the stencil and everything! A swift hour and a half later, I had my newest piece of body art all finished. I was so happy with it, and the artist was thrilled that she finally got to do a Star Wars tattoo! I told her not to worry, and I'd be back for more in no time.
Here is the finished product(still healing, so the photo doesn't do it justice).
In addition to that, my 21st birthday is in 3 days!! So excited!
That's all for now I guess.
