David's birthday was August 1st. This was a special birthday because it was the first that he and I actually got to spend together since 2004, when he joined the Marines. Three of those missed birthdays he was deployed; once to Iraq, once to Afghanistan and once on a ship. I have to say that those were the worst, for me anyway. I am so proud of my brother for his service to our country but I am so happy that he is retired now and close to home!
We went to David & Justine's for dinner, she made David's favorite roast(our Mom used to make it) and had a cake made for him. Here is a picture of David and his cake, in case you don't know who the dog is(I didn't), that is Jake from Adventure Time...
