The Best & Worst of 2000

The Chicks surely had a year to bring in the millennium. We got a website up and running, we had pajamas created by Nick and Nora, and we even bought a few stocks. What were the Chicks' Best and Worst moments of 2000? We thought we'd ask.

Chick Julie
Best: My boyfriend had a tumor removed from his small intestine and it was benign. Building a house in Georgia for a family that needed help. The whole Habitat experience shared with bold old and new friends. Worst: Firing my son at my golf course. Seeing my mother's failing health and knowing there is nothing I can do to help her.

Chick Susie
Best: Having my family together for the holidays and of course, winning the Springfield Multipurpose facility contract. Worst: Having both my parents diagnosed with cancer in the same year.

Chick Lynn
Best: Finding out that my husband was going to be okay after his bump on his head. Worst: Not knowing for sure if he was going to be okay. Our health is everything!

Chick Kristin
Best: Marrying the love of my life. Worst: Going back to work where I have to sit all day. Now, I have to fight butt spread daily. the battle will never end.

Chick Jeanette
Best: I learned many new things this past year; how to get around New York City, how to build a house, and how to ride a horse. Worst: Learning to do new things can make you sore. Revised Best and Worst: I got a new grandson this past year, but it was terrible that I wasn't able to see him enough.

Chick Megan
Worst:  Having my husband go through Post-Concussion syndrome. Awful. Best:  Celebrating my husband's new career as a coach! It gave us both a brighter outlook on life. For the first time in four years, we feel optimistic about the future!

Chick Cheryl
Best: My first-born child started preschool. (Yippee! I have time to brush my hair!) Worst: My first-born child started preschool. (I cried for a week!)

Chick Jana
Best: Giving birth to my baby boy. Worst: Letting my drivers license expire and waiting six months to get it renewed. I almost went to jail twice. Sheez, I've had a pretty good year if that's the worse thing that has happened to me!

Chick Karin
Best: Traveling through Italy and Russia with my family. Ciao Bella Babushka! Worst: Losing my mother-in-law to brain cancer.
