Tom and Becca's Best & Worst of 2011

It's the time of year when you see a lot of Best and Worst lists. So here are our two lists for 2011!

Tom & Becca's Worsts from 2011

After searching long and hard for Becca's passport at Christmas 2010, the clutter has yet to get under control!

Tom had 3 grandparents pass away this year.

Our yard is the bane of our existence!

Becca quit her job in June. She desperately misses the schedule, the intellectual stimulation, and the people!

Tom has still not finished his PhD.

We saw a lot of friends move on this summer. We were sad to see them go and maybe a just a little sad that we were not going with them!

Becca no longer fits in her bright red dress!

Tom's Renal Physiology Exam

Becca ended the year without health insurance.

The Glorified Birdhouse (otherwise known as our garage) is still standing!

And since we would like to end on a high note:


Tom & Becca's Bests from 2011

We completed a 5K in April.

Tom and Becca both lost 20 lbs!!!

Becca quit her job! She does not desperately miss the commute, the grading, the guilt, the extreme tiredness, and the excuses!

We celebrated 5 years of marital bliss!

Seeing Niagara Falls (it was Becca's 1st time, as well as her 1st time in Canada)

Cedar Point!

Tom received his white coat.

Studying pathology together.

Tom's Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Pathology Exam.

Becca donated 14 inches of hair to Locks of Love!

Becca and Tom both had small solos in the ward Christmas program and Tom liked Becca's singing!

We were able to save over $100 on parking because of friends in the Chicago suburbs who let us park at their house for 2 weeks and who gave us Metra tickets! It was a long day of travel, but it was awesome to see them and to save so much money!

  1. Awesome bests!! I wish I still lived close to you. Since I am no longer working outside the home - I could help you clean up the clutter. It's fun to see a post from you. Congratulations on the 20 pounds.
