What does your husband do?

He measures stuff. He what? He is a Metrologist. No, he doesn't predict the weather. He is not a Meteorologist. He is a Metrologist. He measures stuff---no he is not a land surveyor. OMG.
Here ya go:

me·trol·o·gy

meˈträləjē/

noun

1. the scientific study of measurement.

He goes around the world and measures things. He worked at Hawker Beechcraft in Wichita, KS as a CNC machine operator. One door opened and then another and another. Prince Charming has always enjoyed computers and technology. He is extremely gifted at using his hands to build and his mind to see things others can't in the world of technology. It wasn't exactly odd when he discovered Application Engineer and it was all things together. He could use technology to measure things and put them in a 3D world on his computer. He is able to speak different computer languages and if he couldn't he researched and became self-taught. He is an amazingly humble man who doesn't realize his own God given talents.

This past month Prince Charming resigned from the job that moved us to Indiana. He believed he built the department to where it needed to be and it seemed it no longer needed him. He wanted to spread his wings and keep growing. He is now self-employed again working with other Metrology groups who will use his service through contracting. It is a bold move and I am proud of him. 

When a person becomes self taught and wanting to pursue higher dreams they spend a LOT of time away from their family. I am still working on my level of patience and flexibility with his pursuits. I did sneak out this week when he was scanning/measuring our neighborhood and catch a few pictures. He wasn't pleased, but oh well.

He is using a Leica Tracker full station. It was kinda fun to see how far away it could measure. Quite an impressive little toy!
