So I'm not a "Big" test taker.. but I liked this one.  I find it equally interesting that I ended up being the Monarch of yet another time frame... but now I'm a man?  Makes you wonder.. if there is such a thing as past lives, do you think Queen Elizabeth was King Arthur... and if I am Queen Elizabeth now, why am I not ruling somewhere??  haha.. just my own internal thoughts here on the subject. 

Your result for The Camelot Test ...

King Arthur

You value honor and equality. You are courageous and logical. While you may be passionate at times, you rarely let your emotion affect your decisions. You are (according to legend) probably the greatest monarch of all time.

So probably no one knows this on here, but my job is not easy and is not really my forte... My degree is aerospace engineering and that's the line of work I will hopefully stay in, but this particular job is no longer right for me.  It all came to a head with a "sit down" meeting with my bosses the DAY I came back from a 10 day vacation to Panama (read previous blog for info on that trip).  After this meeting I prayed alot, cried alot, and was generally extremely bummed...  Then I realized God was wanting me to leave this position, and as soon as I made that decision, it felt like this HUGE weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  I also felt I needed to tell my management because I am lead on lots of projects and we needed to start planning to hand those over to others.  So that started a clock on July 14th counting down to when I'd leave.  I was able to make them see that leaving in 2 weeks would not even closely be possible due to all my tasks!!  So my end date is August 15th, which is actually 5 weeks from the day I decided I needed to leave. 

Since then, I have been applying all over the place and had 1 interview and offer, but I'm not interested in it.  This week I have 3 interviews and 2 of those jobs I think I'd love.. and they invovled travel which i love!

Another change in my life is that my girlfriend who I get to fly almost for free with is leaving her job at the end of September... so I have to get in all my fun flying prior to then!!  Wish me luck there...

And yet another change is that I think it's time to leave my church.  I'm currently church shopping, but I have found an amazing singles group at a church near my house!!  The fellowship and worship there is so wonderful and I really love the group!

This week has been extra fun because we had a supposed Hurricane coming to wipe us out... so NASA gave us a day and half of leave, kind of like a snow day really.  It was awesome, especially since Tropical storm Edouard basically passed us by with very little rain and never became a Hurricane even!  So the past 2 days, I've gotten in all sorts of crazy amounts of sewing.  I'd taken a summer "break" from sewing since I'd been doing so much of it in the fall and spring of this year.  I picked up last week because I'm working on my girlfriends wedding dress and needed to get it in a state for her to try on when she comes to town this weekend.  So in the past week and 2 days I've done the following:

For the wedding dress: I made a satin trained skirt, made a chiffon under dress, did finishing work on a sating bodice.

For my stuff: I made a black velvet hoop skirt, a set of tight balck velvet sleeves with lots of pearling, finished beading my gold underskirt on both the front and back side, made a new white and black purse with lots of beading, made gold silk bloomers for my fairy costume, redid the back of a bodice to add more eyelets and a higher privacy panel, and reglued the eyes on my zebellini's. 

So from my "to do" sewing list, I only have about 3 real needs left to finish before fall and a few ones I could do if I have time and effort!!!  Yeah for being productive and having the desire and time to do stuff again!!!

Pray for my interviews and my new job... I hope to have something set in stone by end of this week early next week.
