Champaign soldier Tuttle will head back to Iraq on Thursday

CHAMPAIGN – They met over a pizza, or several. She was his boss at Papa John's and they "fell for each other right away."

"We liked each other right away; we hit it off right off the bat. I wasn't one of those mean bosses," Erin Tuttle said.

Now, Joseph and Erin Tuttle are together in their Champaign home – until Thursday, when Staff Sgt. Joseph Tuttle leaves to resume his second tour in Iraq.
