Nathan's 21st Birthday started with a hard day's work on Boyce Adams' campaign trail. He also helped Stephen put out Phil Bryant signs. On Friday, July 8 at 6:00 PM Stephen and Nathan came to my parent's home in Brooksville to have birthday dinner with us. We had a lot of fun talking about old times. Daddy told stories about when they were little boys. We all remembered theme park rides, family trips, and fun times. Mama made roast, mashed potatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, and a fruit salad. I served the family marble cake with chocolate and cream cheese icing, with vanilla ice cream. Stephen had friends coming from out of town to celebrate Nathan's Birthday. All of them were meeting at Bin 6-12 in Starkville where they all used to hang out. Saturday Stephen, Nathan, and campaign volunteers walked a neighborhood in Columbus handing out brochures for Phil Bryant. On Saturday night, Stephen had more friends to come to the Red Dog. Stephen cooked chicken and pork chops for everyone. Mama and I made "man dip" and ranch dip for them to eat while waiting on the food to get done. Sunday morning Nathan met me, Little Tiny, and G&G Builders to discuss the cabin plans and to decide exactly where to put the camp house. We decided to start building it on July 25 which makes Nathan very happy. It was a busy and fun weekend. I think Nathan had a great birthday weekend even if he and Stephen had to be at work very early Monday morning campaigning again. Happy Birthday Nathan!!
Just yesterday it seemed you were a sweet baby boy with a grin that melted hearts.
Then, in what felt like only the blink of an eye,
you were a curious child with an imagination that wouldn't quit.
In no time at all, you became a young man with hopes and dreams all your own.
And now here you are at 21 a good man
who's still so easy to be proud of and such a joy to love.
