Since my last post our life has changed dramatically. We now have a beautiful baby boy! Reid Avery Watkins was born on June 4th, 2010. He is amazing and has changed our lives so much already! We could not be more blessed. Another huge change in our lives...Ian is currently on deployment with the US Marine Corps to Afghanistan and won't be returning until at the soonest March of 2011. It has been a huge trial for us and we continue to hope and pray that this is a time in our lives that we both grow closer to one another and closer to our Lord. We also pray for Ian's safety and protection. I pray he comes home safely and that he would not come home hardened to the things he has to endure and see while he is over there. That being said, Reid and I are living in Redding, Ca while daddy is away. My sisters are close and it has been a huge help and blessing to have them close by to help. Without their encouragement and advice I'm not sure where I would be. But we do miss our family back home in Washington and look forward to Ian returning so that we can go home and start our lives as a family together :)
