Christmas Greetings from the Deweys

It's hard to believe another year has past us by. Stop! Drop! and ROLL! and get ready for the latest on the Deweys!


Best Dewey moments of 2010:

*The release of Starcraft 2 (Daddy had been waiting for ages!)
I don't think he left the house the entire month of August. LOL.

*Baby Zelda took her first steps!

*Finding RaVoe going on the BIG pottie.
(while reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)

*Mommy got a Job selling Scentsy!

*Finally Getting a vacation!
(we spent 4 days in Vernal and loved every minute)

*Bawling our eyes out as they got those Chile guys out of that big hole!
I still don't even know why they were down there.

*Getting together with the Gals to watch, Eat Pray Love, while literally eating, praying, and loving every minute of it!

* THE BEST MOMENT OF 2010 --- Would definitely have to be the surprise I came home to on our Anniversary. Devon had written me this poem.

When I Save the Day

When I save the day I worry so much about Peach

To think what Bowser could be doing to her ugh, that scaly creep

I will never show discomfort though in the heat of a battle

I will never show any weakness until the bad guys skedaddle

I know I must be strong for her and that's what keeps me going

I must get there and save her in time this I'm knowing

People may wonder why I don't ask for rewards and stuff

But when I see Peach's face, that's reward enough

He is really SOOOO talented!

Now, on a really serious note:
We all know challenges come in all different shapes and sizes, and this year the Lord decided it was time to really test the faith of the Deweys. Most of you may have already heard, but this past summer doctors discovered a severe case of hypersensitivity to a yellow substance in our baby girl. (I'm tearing up as I write this.) Yes, our little RaVoe is allergic to cheese. Needless to say, our lives have been turned completely upside down and we've decided all we can really do is take it one step at a time. We have appreciated all of the gifts and support we have received from family members and friends at this difficult time in our lives. Thank you all for your prayers. Probably the best tool we've had to help us at this time is this book. I recommend it for everyone! Even if you aren't dealing with the atrocities of having your precious baby girl being allergic to your family's main substance (sorry if I sound bitter).

On a lighter note, Daddy finally graduated and is now "certified" to stay at home and be the most wonderful daddy! The girls love it, and so does Mommy, now that she has more time for selling Scentsy.

Thanks to all who have helped make 2010 so fabulous! We love you all and wish you a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

Don't Bless Me

Us Wollenziens were born with allergies, nothing serious besides the fact that we sneeze. In my case, a lot. I never sneeze just once.
It's really beginning to frost my cookies when I'm sitting in class or church and I sneeze and people feel like it's okay to interrupt the teacher or speaker to "bless me". If it were just once, it would maybe be okay. But you know what they say, "Once the rice is pudding, it's too late to reclaim the rice."
So there I am, sneezing 5 times, and having to hear, "bless you" 5 different times. That means interrupting the teacher 5 times, and then having to sit through awkward moments when I know that people are waiting for me to say thank you. But I refuse. I don't need your blessings. I don't have the Bubonic plague, and I'm not dying.


I don't know who started the whole, "bless you" routine. But it really needs to stop.

I imagine it was someone like this guy:





Or these guys:




Or probably this lady:



I can almost see it on her lips.

So please, next time you hear someone sneeze, just leave them in peace.
