A Little Bit of Awesome: 2/24/2021 Edition

Jennie Tatum is pretty awesome. Her dog was playing out back when it fell through the ice on her frozen pool and couldn’t get out. So Jennie jumped in to save him.
Her dog was in pretty bad shape for a bit, but after an overnight stay at the vet, he was back home and feeling fine.


Courtney Mahnken had an awesome story about her first boyfriend. She was 14 when she had her first boyfriend, but they had apparently met at birth. Both her mom and her boyfriends mom gave birth next to each other in the same hospital.
And now, at the age of 26, she and her first boyfriend, who she met at birth, are engaged.

This is the sound of comfort.
Five year old Rosyln was having nightmares. So her dad reached out to a men’s choir that Rosyln watches on YouTube. And the Bristol MAN Chorus recorded a lullaby just for her and her sister Evelyn.
That’s pretty awesome.
