The Birth of Andrea Louise Grady
The birth of Andrea Louise Grady: I was born at 6:30 am. My birthdate makes me an Aquarius. I was the second child of Tom and Lisa Grady. I have one older brother named Thomas. He wasn't able to say my name at the time so he called me "Baby Angel". -
London Bridge
I was three, playing under an ironing board. I was playing a game called "London Bridge". I got caught under the board by my hair. I proceeded to pull out from under it. It pulled a chunk of my hair out and the top of my head. I still have the bald spot and my mom still has my chunk of hair. -
My Miracles of Life
My two American Bulldogs, named Meggie and Titan gave birth to eleven puppies. The vet did an ultrasound telling us there were only seven or eight. We sold nine and kept two. -
First Dance Class
I went to my first dance class. The team's name was Copper. It was a performing team. That means we would perform all over the city. We did the D-Backs game, The Suns game, Desert Ridge stage, Senior centers, and more. -
Separation
My parents announced their separation to my brother and I. It was a hard day and hard time in my life. It was hard to understand that my parents weren't going to be together forever. -
Best Friends for Life
I met my best friend on my pre-company dance team. Her name is Allie. We didn't become best friends right away but by the end of that year we were inseparable. We have been best friends ever since. We hang out all the time. -
Divorce Finalized
The divorce being final was hard to accept. I still had hope because I was young. I had to accept it and I'm glad I did. Both of my parents are very happy now. My dad just got married in June of 2014. My mom has been in a serious relationship with her boyfriend for a couple of years now. I love both of them and love both of my extended families. -
My Second Family
Made my first dance competition team: Making a competition team had been a short term goal of mine. It was dream that I made it. It was even better when my best friend Allie made the team too. I devoted a lot of time. Many hours and sometimes almost seven days a week I was at the dance studio. The team became my second family. -
New School Year
This day is very significant to me. I committed to being self-motivated and responsible. Primavera has helped me grow gracefully. -
Hardest Decision
My hardest and most life changing decision of my life so far was quitting dance. I decided I needed to focus on school and my health. When you are dancing for many hours out of the week, it takes a toll on your body. I cried over this decision but I knew it was the best thing for me.
