| Audrey and Mom on day of birth, January 24, 1982 |
Today is Audrey's 30th birthday!
It's hard to believe I have a child that is 30 years old!
But, oh, what a life!
Audrey was born in Tucson. She weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19" long. She smiled at 7 weeks. She laughed aloud at 8 weeks. She took her first steps at 8.5 months, soon after we moved to Dallas.
At 1 year of age, I wrote, "Audrey is very independent." Over the years, Audrey has had a full life.
Preschool at The Lamplighter School in Dallas, ages 4-5.
Started playing tennis at age 5.
Took ice skating lessons, swim lessons, played soccer, played t-ball.
Started piano lessons at age 6.
1st-4th grade at Bradfield Elementary in Highland Park/Dallas,
4th grade through high school in Sarasota.
Audrey continued playing tennis and was on her high school varsity team, editor of the yearbook, vice president of Sarasota High School Key Club, and lieutenant governor of Key Club Florida.
Audrey spent high school summers playing tennis
and attending programs at Brown, Georgetown, and Johns Hopkins.
She graduated from high school in three years and went to Johns Hopkins University in fall 1999.
She played tennis at Hopkins and co-chaired The 2001 MSE Symposium.
After interning with PR firms over two summers, Audrey graduated early from Johns Hopkins.
She accepted a job in Washington, DC, with Burson-Marsteller PR, January 2003.
After two years in DC, Audrey moved to Los Angeles to work for Ketchum PR.
She moved to NYC with Ketchum in fall 2005, and met Dan in January 2006.
Audrey and Dan were married in NYC on April 28, 2007.
They moved to San Diego a few months later, then to Santa Monica,
where Audrey founded Henry Grey PR.
Audrey and Dan moved to Chicago in January 2010.
They bought a home in late 2010,
and they welcomed baby Lauren on December 5, 2011.
I am so proud to be Audrey's mother!
Happy 30th Birthday, Audrey!
