My twenties, by the numbers
This weekend I shut the door on my 20’s. Surprisingly, I was a little sentimental about this and spent a lot of time looking back at the past decade. I thought about what went well, and what I could have done better. I think this is another skill learned while starting a company. Often the most valuable part of an experience is after it takes place, because that is when you can truly learn from it.
So for a recap of my 20’s, I thought I’d do it by the numbers (and also chronologically):
6000. Miles traveled chasing the perfect girl (she lived in Hawaii at the time)
1. Number of perfect girls married.
1. Number of awesome cars traded for a more “affordable” car
13. Number of months between getting married and birth of a perfect little girl… who almost killed us.
2250. Hours spent in the classroom to get a graduate degree.
0. Number of people we knew in Colorado when we moved.
12. Different satellite projects worked on during 4 years at a national aerospace company
2. Companies Started (I started a tennis academy in college)
2. Homes bought.
18. Pairs of tennis shoes worn through.
11. Peaks hiked in Colorado over 14,000 feet
3. Beautiful children
5. Number of days after birth of 3rd child before quitting my comfortable job to start BlogFrog
35,000. Number of Mom bloggers using BlogFrog.
2 Million. Moms these amazing bloggers reach each month.
