Why did I start this blog?
It is really easy to get bogged down in the little details and dissapointments of life, or the important and stressful things. I wanted to do something offset that. I want to live life more intentionally. I called the blog intentional sunshine because I want to find ways to be intentional about life and so bring in the sunshine rather than get stuck under gloomy skies. What does this mean? I'm not entirely sure yet. To start with I want to be more disciplined, focus on the task at hand and take my work seriously so I can have time to play seriously. I want to try new things and explore Colorado and take advantage of the opportunities here. I want to keep my life focused on others and not just myself. Any suggestions are more than welcome!
A little about me right now.
I recently graduated from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI with a degree in Civil Engineering. While at Calvin I ran cross country and track. Since graduation I have gotten married to Nate Perkins and moved to Boulder, CO to pursue a masters degree in Structural Engineering at UC Boulder. Nate does research at the hospital in Denver. So far I have been studying, unpacking and organizing our tiny apartment, climbed a 14,000 ft mountain, and met some people.
