once upon a time, you burst unto the scene weighing only 3 pounds and 12 onces. you were mighty in that small package. it's a wonder that we all even survived your first year of life. with surgery and crying and being so small. but you had so much to offer and you grew and grew.
you grew until one day you were an adorable little girl, all smiles and you sister tells me even a bit bossy. you were a charmer.
and you grew and you grew until one day you became a super star. you were brightly shinning and there were high hopes for you, little one. you were well on your way earning League titles and course records. but that was not to last.
instead you develpoed into a determined athlete always setting the example for your team mates to follow. in high school you earned the right to be a 5 time captain and in collage you were still a leader, not only on the track but in life and some followed your example. because of that you have gained a cherished friend.
you grew into a beautiful young woman full of life with lots of spirit. you left a career and home behind to go off into uncertainty. your boss had said how worried she was, leaving it all behind to move to Utah for a boy. but you had much to learn and a career to pursue. you kept at it until one day, you not only earned your career back but you and Cameron had won the hearts of each other!
so go ahead and take off on this wonderful adventure called marriage. your mom and dad are so very proud of you and the choices you have made. you have been a wonderful example to Taylor, Tucker and Riley and they look up to you so much. i can not think of anyone more wonderful then Cameron to be"Stealing Cinderella"
we love you Shea! Love Mom and Dad
