Quigley and Co.

Hello!!!

So we have the biggest, bestest news EVER!!! Last night I went in for a job interview and was offered the position on the spot!!!!!!!! Yay, I'm a professional nurse!!!!!!

What is even better is the story of how this all came to be. So, there are 24 hospitals in the DFW area. That was a little overwhelming at first. On top of that though most of the hospitals require an internship or residency for new grad nurses. Well, there weren't a whole lot of those available. There was a children's medical center though that didn't require an internship. I visited it back in March and immediately fell in love with the hospital, their model of care and how they treated their patients. I sought every job I could with no luck. I never even got a call for a phone interview. So, I threw the recruiter's card away and thought to myself that dream just wasn't going to happen.

Well, that all changed very quickly. The Lord had been telling me for the past few days to back off on my job search; he was preparing a job. So, yesterday morning I got a call from the recruiter I had been working with. She said she had the perfect job and wanted me to come in for an interview that night, I of course said I'd be there. Did I mention that I never even applied for this job?! The recruiter thought the manager might hire me even though she was only looking for experienced nurses. She was right! The interview went great and at the end she said "I never do this, but I just want you to know the recruiter will be calling you in the morning with the official offer of employment, I would love to hire you." SO in less than 12 hours I went from never having an interview to getting a job that I never applied for. I am now the newest nurse on the Med/Surg unit at Cook Children's Medical Center!!!

A big thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through these last six months and an even bigger thank you to everyone who has been praying into this. The Lord broke through and blessed me with something I never thought was possible, just like he likes to do!

Tons and tons of love,
Texas' newest nurse, Kyle, Quigley, and Harper

Hello!

Ok, so today we have some BIG news. We might be the stupidest people on the face of the planet, or we might be secret geniuses. We have welcomed in a new member of the family. Everyone, meet Harper our new little cuddle bug and Quigley's new best friend (or so we think, hope, pray, and wish).



 Tons and tons of love!
Kyle, Katie, Quigley and HARPER!

Hello Everyone!

We have had quite the week!







 Oh, Saturday. That was again one of those awesome feel terrible and get torn down then the Lord totally blesses your face off kind of days. (We've had a lot of those lately). We were going to go into Dallas and check out a couple areas that looked fun and get some Clover coffee from Starbucks. We were getting ready to leave and Kyle steps on my computer and completely ruins the display. Just what we needed, an $800-1000 accident when we really weren't sure how the next month is going to play out financially.

But, we figured we might as well go take it into the Apple store and see what they say. Well, it was a lot less than we were planning, yay! So we hung out in Dallas the rest of the day and found some really cool little neighborhoods. Then, when we got home Kyle went to check the mail and we had gotten a check from the university for more than a month's wages with extra to fix my computer!!! The Lord is soooo good and soooooo faithful!



We love you all soooo much, tons and tons,

Kyle, Katie and Quigley

Hello Everyone!

We have just gotten back from probably the best trip we have taken so far! We got to sneak away to San Antonio for a few days before Kyle starts school again. It was exactly what we needed to hit restart and relax for a second before the whirlwind of the school year hits. Unfortunately, we had MAJOR city envy and didn't want to leave, EVER!!! But, we had to get back to our baby boy. (Who, by the way, could have cared less that we left, he didn't want to leave Kyle and Emily's house. Thank you guys SOOOOOOOO much for watching him.)

We wanted to share some of our trip with you all, so enjoy!




On to the Riverwalk (complete with a mariachi serenade on our first night)



                             




Hope you enjoyed a little taste of the trip! We love you all and are excited to get started with things here in Texas. The Lord blessed us with an awesome little escape and we are looking forward to Him breaking through with a job and blessing the upcoming school year.

Love you all,
Kyle, Katie and Quigley

Here is Arlington, land of Six Flags and stadiums

-Kyle, Katie and Quigley

Hello Everyone,


So, tomorrow is the big day, CRAZY! So for those of you that don't know, we are moving to Arlington, TX tomorrow for Kyle to start his PhD program. We will be there for the next five years until the Lord takes us on to our next adventure. Talk about a HUGE change, going from everything we know and our families we love so much to no one we know and being all alone. We are so excited to start the adventure, but are a little anxious for the changes. 


We want all of you who are so dear to us to stay connected and still be a part of our lives as we embrace such a great change. Here is the place you can do that! We will be updating what life is like in Texas, our good times, bad times and how you can be praying for us. 


Tomorrow, we will be leaving at 6a.m. Please be praying for a quick and safe 12 hour drive. Also, for the latest edition to our family, Quigley our Mini Aussie, to travel well. He doesn't quite love the care yet and this might be a hard day for him.


To everyone in Nebraska, we love you all SOOOOOO much and have been blessed by all of you and are excited to come back and visit and we would love to still hear from you and stay a part of our lives!


Tons and tons of love,
Kyle, Katie and Quigley
