1. What's one thing in the past month you would have changed?
My attendance at the gym. I've put on a few pounds, ugh. I just feel like a bloated, floppy blob!
2. What was your favorite thing that happened in June?
Accomplishing some of my deployment goals. Based on this post, I've done four of my seven goals. One of them is ongoing (weeding the backyard), so I didn't count that. Looking back at my list, though, I notice that only the ones solely about me (working out more, talking with a plastic surgeon) have been put on the backburner. Hm. I guess I'm not doing too good with the whole care-more-about-myself thing.
3. What did you do to celebrate Independence Day?
Nada. The boys were passed out by 8pm, so no fireworks for us. And if we're not going to go downtown for fireworks, I didn't see the point in dragging them down there by myself. My boys are super sweet, but sometimes very tough to handle alone.
4. When you PCS, what items do you take with you and not let the movers pack (and if you do a DITY, what do you take with you and not box up)?
We learned the hard way to always, always, ALWAYS take bed screws with you. Know why? Because if you are living in a house for less than a year, and plan on keeping some things boxed up, the movers will definitely have put those screws in the precise boxes you hadn't planned on unpacking, therefore making you unpack everything you will not need at 10pm at night just to put your kids' beds together so your three and not-quite-two year olds can get the hell to bed already! ... Seriously, take the bed screws with you.
5. What are you looking forward to in July?
Warmer weather! Sunny days! Finally packing away my spring clothes and busting out the summer stuff!

Good call on the bed screws! We will definitely remember to maintain positive control of any furniture fasteners for our next move.
Today I've learned that I must have had the best movers in the history of the military...ours sorta taped/attached the bags of screws tot the furniture themself and then put the furniture back together for us (if they took it apart, they put it back together). That stinks you had to dig through boxes for them.
