About Me

My name is Michelle.  I am 29 years old (but I’ll be 30 this year…yikes!!)  I am married to my best friend Ryan, who shows me more of God’s love than anyone I know.  He also happens to be an awesome dad to our son, Jackson Moses Dean.  I am Jack’s stay-at-home Mom.  He is sweet and smart and always on the go.   Before he was born, I taught Music, then Kindergarten.  But being a mom is better.  I love God, and am in awe of the story of His grace, especially that He chose me to be His child.  I am learning to wait on Him and trust Him to provide for every need.  He is also teaching me more about the fact that I have nothing good to offer Him on my own…I am only made righteous by the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus, my Savior.  I grew up in a Christian home, with the example of parents and grandparents who loved God and taught me to do the same.  I have one sister, Melissa, who is one of my dearest friends in the world, and also my fashion consultant.  Both my parents are Russian, and I am so thankful for the heritage that has given me (from the DELICIOUS food, to the importance of family, to the traditions…  LOVE IT!)  I’m excited to share a little about our life in this blog, and pray that it will be honoring to my Savior.  Thanks for visiting!
