Another new month is upon us! Happy August!
I consider August the last month of summer, so I want to make sure August is a memorable, fun month. I know I don’t technically go back to school in September, but it seems like people fall into a more serious work mode in the fall and go on less vacations. There’s something special about the summer, so I hope to enjoy this final month!
July was a bit of a rollercoaster month when it comes to my emotions. Some amazing events, some stressful situations, but in the end it was definitely a month to remember!
- I attended my first blogger conference
- Ryan accepted a new job and I announced our plans to move to Ocala
- We officially moved out of our apartment in Orlando

And that brings us to TODAY!
Breakfast
Since we’re back to living the temporary housing life, you know what that means…
Hotel breakfasts!
I made myself an egg sandwich using scrambled eggs with cheese, ham and sausage.
I went back for seconds of the eggs (they were so cheesy!) and also ate the top of a muffin as I was waiting for my English muffin to toast.
Not a bad morning meal!
Question of the Morning
- What are you most looking forward to in August?
I am triple crossing my fingers that we find a place to rent and move into a new home in August. I can’t wait to start getting settled in Ocala and officially have a place to call “home.” I am also really looking forward to attending the Healthy Living Summit at the end of the month.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Yes, what a month you’ve had! ANd you’ve handled it with style and finesse, Julie! That is impressive.
I love eggs with English muffins, such a great breakfast!
I bet we can ALL say we’re triple crossing our fingers for you guys too 🙂

I’m excited that I’m entering my last month of pregnancy! And that hopefully I’ll regain my ability to think clearly soon 🙂

I’m looking forward to my beau’s birthday, then (20 days later) my birthday, and somewhere in between the two, Healthy Living Summit!! Can’t wait to be in Philly!!
Cait's Plate says
I completely consider August the end of summer. I will forever have the excited “back to school” feeling about September.
So I’m totally with you on making this last month of summer count 🙂
That really isn’t bad for a hotel breakfast at all – and it makes me realize that I need to head down in MY hotel and get one myself!
Amanda @ Cucina Amanda says
I’m DEFINITELY looking forward to August 27th…my wedding day! I can’t believe it’s less than 4 weeks away now!
Hope says
I can’t believe it’s August already! This summer is flying by! I’m excited because the 17th is exactly one year until I get married! I’m hoping to celebrate by going to the beach for a day trip! I haven’t been there yet this summer! 🙂

This may sound silly, but training for my first half marathon and really “upping” the amp..;)

I loved following your blog throughout the month of July. I, myself, have been facing a few difficult times and it’s always nice reading about other bloggers’ plans for the future. I know that you’re going to find a dream house soon!

Our summer vacation at the end of the month, we are going on a road trip to California (from Canada)!

What a great July for you! Sounds like August will be busy – I hope you find a place soon!
Steph @321delish says
I’m looking forward to going to visit my parents for the first time this summer! They’re only 3 hours away, but summer’s been so busy that I haven’t gotten the chance to go! And, the weekend I’m going, I get to watch a lifeguard race, do an open water swim, compete in a triathlon, and lay on the beach. SO EXCITED!
'Dee says
You have definitely had a whirlwind month! I hope you get to look back on August as the month when you got comfortably settled into your new home.
In August, I’m looking forward to getting my cardiovascular fitness back to the point where I can again enjoy my running and can tackle the increasing mileage for my October half-marathon. I’m also looking forward to doing some seriously thinking about how I earn my keep in this world. I am a weary corporate American!
Jessica @ Sushi and Sit-Ups says
I’m looking forward to things slowing down a little after all the non-stop social activities of the summer until the holiday madness starts up!
Hillary says
I haven’t been home (Rhode Island) to visit my friends since last July. I’m heading there this weekend to spend a full week with all of them, and I’m so excited I’m basically peeing my pants. ; )
Jamie aka "Sometimes Healthy" Girl says
I’m definitely looking forward to the Healthy Living Summit!! 🙂
Hollie says
My BFFs bday then my bday and my mom coming to visit!! Wheeeeeee
Melissa says
I just started a new job and I have to figure out where I’m living. I can work from home, but need to be in DC once a week. I’m trying to figure out if that’s negotiable at all because I’d really like to move back to Michigan where my family is and be in DC for 3-4 days one week a month. If that won’t work, then I have to decide if I want to stay here in Richmond or move up closer to DC. Gah! So much to think about! :/
Melissa says
Oh and my point was that I am looking forward to sorting all of that out . . . duh. 😉
Lyndsi @ Lyndsi and David says
I’m looking forward to my first married birthday 🙂
Shayla @ The Good Life says
Wow I can’t believe its August already?!
I’m looking forward to going to our lake house one last time for the summer and to hoping hubby and I finally get pregnant! 🙂
Molly says
I’m most looking forward to moving into my sorority house! and of course prepping for RUSH!
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
August is a busy month for me! I have lots of weddings, and wedding showers! And a jimmy buffet concert! Hard to believe it is already august!
Katie says
Hope you guys find a place to live soon! 🙂
I’m most looking forward to a week long beach vacation with only myself and my boyfriend. We desperately NEED to relax and all I want to do is sit on the beach and drink Yuengling. 🙂
Lindsay says
My birthday is in August! WOOHOO! Plus, I move into my new apartment in a week..it’ll be the first time I have a place that’s ALL MINE!
Erin says
I’m working on getting a Ph.D. in marketing, and I take my comprehensive exams in 2 weeks–been studying all summer and can’t wait to be done with this part!! It’s a 9 hour exam so wish me luck 🙂
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
What a busy month you had! I’m looking forward to starting my new job 🙂
My Blonde Moments says
I don’t have much going on this month, but I am going to Austin next weekend with my boyfriend to visit his family. So I’m pretty excited about that! Plus, work will pick up again, so that will be nice. It’s been SO SLOW lately and it really makes for long days!
Sarah @ Simply Dove says
Wow, you’ve had an exciting month! Moving can be so stressful! I hope you guys find a place soon!
This month I’m looking forward to getting back into my exercise routine. I took a couple months off and am excited to get back into it. I always feel so much better and more energetic when I’m working out!
