Day 6 ~ August 6, 2010

Today's picture is of my husband, Zach. It's not very good quality because it was taken with a webcam, but it's the best I could get. Zach is deployed to Baghdad, Iraq with the 40th ESB out of Fort Huachuca, AZ. They left on June 6, 2010, so he has been gone for 2 months today. That's 2 months down, 10 to go.

Zach works as an Information Systems Specialist and while he is deployed he is teaching classes at Baghdad Signal University. This is his second deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was there from December 2007-March 2009.

I love and miss my husband so very much! I can't wait until he's home again (he's coming home in a couple of months for the birth of our first baby). He'll be home for about 2 weeks and then he'll return to Iraq until June of 2011. It's hard being away from each other, but thanks to the advanced technology of today, we're able to communicate very regularly and that helps. I love you, Zach, and I'm very proud of you!
