Sent Mail.

Rach and I were sitting next to each other on the couch Sunday afternoon when she noticed something exciting about my "sent" folder.

I have sent 10,000 emails. That's a lot more than Rachel. This confirms her theory that I communicate a lot more than the average human being.


For kicks, I went to check out what my very first email was about. I teared up when I found it because it was an email to Rach. Almost exactly five years ago, I sent her this gem.

Who would have thought five years and 9,997 emails later we would be sitting here on the couch working on start a business designing blogs? We knew she would be married, but we didn't know about Finley or Belle or Copper or Northern Virginia.

I've got to stop. I'm getting too sentimental.

Oh gmail. What a journey we have been on together.

  1. I have to tell you that after I read this post...I went straight to my gmail account to see my number: 699 total. Then I started reading the old ones I sent. Pretty cool...you got yours a year earlier than me. Though you probably would still have me beat by a landslide! I think everyone should go to their gmail accounts and check out their number!

  4. I've sent 2335 -- and guess who my first gmail email was sent to? YOU! This is how it started: "Hey Vic,
    Thanks for the Valentine's card! Sorry your kiddos didn't give you any. What were they thinking?! :)"

  5. I was sad when I only had 400 sent and none earlier than 2008. Then I realized that long before awatson421...there was alisonnbrown! So I logged back in and found 900. And this was my first!
