He is going to Iraq:(

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. My husband is in Iraq right now (he's been gone for just a month), and we actually aren't having our church wedding until he gets back in 2008, but made the situation to elope last minute before he left to make things legal before the deployment. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what your financial situation is, but I know that my husband is making quite a bit more money during his deployment since it's all tax free and they get hazardous duty pay, etc. Even though your fiance won't be receiving married pay, there will still be a pretty big difference in his paycheck probably, so maybe that will help out. There's also this special savings account that soldiers on deployment can start where you get 10% interest, so that might be a really good thing to take advantage of! I don't really know all the details about it, but he could probably ask someone for more info. I hope I'm not just repeating a bunch of stuff you already know! lol If I am, I apologize! Anyway, sorry again to hear about your fiance's deployment-I know how hard it can be. If you ever need to talk to someone about it, feel free to send me a message! :) Good luck!
