Challenge Accepted!

When my sister Elisabeth turned 28, she embarked on a journey, along with her friend to each accomplish @28EpicThings.  Their adventures took them all over the globe, pushed them to try new adventures and most of all have fun. In preparation for this birthday, Elisabeth asked me if I was going to accept the same challenge. I don’t have a birthday buddy as those two are, but I am always up for a challenge! I’ve spent the last two years in graduate school. Having recently graduated with my a Master of Science in Nutrition Education my free time has increased immensely and I get bored easily.  That leads us right here.

First, let’s get acquainted as we will be spending the next year together. I’ve always been up for an adventure and wanted to march to the beat of my own drum. I believe that balance is the key to life- that’s why I can be a Registered Dietitian and love donuts, with sprinkles.

Sprinkles were banned in my house growing up- all thanks to my mother. She has always said they make her skin crawl. If we paid for our donuts in coins and picked out a sprinkled one she would make us stand outside and eat them. So now I’m 28 and I still pick out sprinkled donuts for my mom.

Yesterday started the beginning of this awesome year of adventure. It included an awesome cake with actual donuts and SPRINKLES. I’m not sure who convinced my mom to let them in her house, but THANK YOU mom!!!!

My first adventure was figuring out how to create a blog. As usual, I did my research, and figured it out. My goal is 28 things I’ve never done before. Maybe it will be more, maybe I’ll fall short. But nevertheless, I know it will be filled with fun, family, and a sprinkled donut!
