Well, it's been a crazy week in so many different ways. Happy in my own life, but scary and sad in the grand scheme of things. Living in a world where we can't ever escape negative headlines in the news is one of the reasons Teresa and I love doing roundups every week, to highlight the things in the world filled with joy, beauty, hope, humor and novelty.
Jason and I will be on a plane to Ethiopia on Sunday. That part hasn't really set in yet...Needless to say, my weekend will be spent packing and frantically finishing some work projects while intermittently checking the YouTube view count of a certain video. (almost 1.5 million views in the first 24 hours felt pretty good!)
Enough about me, here are some fun and happy things to end the week with, some beauty and joy in the midst of crazy.
Loved this happy story from the Boston Marathon and then found out I've actually met the guy through Young Life! It's a small world for sure.

And finally...

I really loved the intro to this roundup, it is so nice to read carefree and positive things here. Thanks for keeping such a positive place :). Also, speaking of Iron Curtain Press, I've been hooked on a little boutique here in Mississippi and they sell Iron Curtain Press cards!! Nice touch of the west in a small southern town. Have a fantastic time in Africa!!
