A New Family
Just two months ago, I put on a white dress and stood in front of friends and family — joined lives with Michael – and at the end of the day, became a Dean!
Several friends have asked me, ”What is the best part of marriage so far?” and My answer? Living life with and walking beside your best friend. It brings incomparable joy. What could be better? 
Along with my amazing husband, came his wonderful family — The Deans. Sometimes God knows just what we need. I am truly blessed now be a part of such a great group of people with the last name Dean. Last night was a big night for two reasons: #1 our 2 month anniversary! and #2 My in-laws and sister-in-law came to visit us in Nashville for the first time.
Before they came, I miraculously found my hostess, decorator, cook, and maid hat and went to town. My hubby laughed because I cleaned so thoroughly, I broke a serious sweat. {Mom, I blame you for making me notice dirty baseboards!:)}
Last night, I did not burn anything and successfully baked a delicious meal only completed by peach cobbler! I cannot believe how far I’ve come from day 1 and 2 of married life. If you missed the stories, click HERE to read.
Look at all the DEANS!

So happy for you Ruth! I agree living life with your best friend is wonderful! Also love saying goodnight not goodbye!
Ruthie Dean makes us better. We needed you and God blessed us when you joined the family!
Almost made me cry. Thank you for your never-ending support, love, and acceptance. I am blessed!
