It is a small world...

I posted this story on a website my family has (note to the Bisel's remember to go to our our David A. Bisel blog!! And if you have anything to post do it.)


I thought I would also post it on here for everyone else to see! It is amazing how you meet people you never expect to, in the most unexpected places.

( This is one of those take it yourself Pictures)

This is BeauDee Bisel Richards, I am DeLoy Bisel, Jr.'s daughter and I have a story I would like to share with all of you. I love Woodland which is where I have lived, and I did not want to leave Woodland. But after talking Wacey, my husband, out of not leaving to move to Oregon once...even I could not pass up the offer the new job was giving to us. So I hesitantly left my family and my beautiful valley of Woodland that I love. We moved to Oregon in October and the first week I went to church the lady conducting Relief Society was fun and bubbly!! She asked me to stand and introduce myself and tell where I was from. I was shocked when she said "You moved from Woodland, Utah? I think I have family there we need to talk." Not to many people know were Woodland, Utah is so when she said she had family there I was a little excited!!!

I did not get to talk to her until a few weeks later. I had been having a hard time being away from my family and I trying to adjust to Oregon and our new life here. It had been about 3 weeks and I was homesick and did not know anyone, so when the Relief Society president called to get to know me I was so excited to have a adult conversation and get to know someone from my new surroundings!! While we were at the park the cute bubbly lady in the presidency came to tell me that they had a "mommy and me" for moms and kids at the church that day and I could go get to know some of them and let my girls play. As we were walking down the sidewalk to our cars she reminded me she had family in Woodland and I thought for sure I would know who they are, Woodland is a small town and I know most people there. But when she said "Well my maiden name is Bisel", I about died. I think my reaction was "SHUT UP, my maiden name is Bisel" and then we went on to figure this out! Turns out that she is Susan Bisel Green. I think we decided we are cousin's once removed. I had heard so much about Uncle Rean and I think when I told my dad we were moving to Oregon he told me that Uncle Rean had lived in Oregon. But I never thought about having anyone I would be related to here and in my ward!! It has been great to see Susan every Sunday and know I have family right here. It is a small world after all!!!
This picture is Susan and my girls!! Susan Invited us to come to her house and make turkeys for Thanksgiving!! We had tons of fun thank you Susan!!!

Utah CEO

I am so proud of Wacey... He works so hard and is so dedicated to work and making things better for our family, We moved out here to Oregon because one of Wacey's clients liked him so much they asked him to come and consult their business, He has also been building his business (Bench Creek Consulting) and... HE WAS FEATURED IN "UTAH CEO MAGAZINE" !!!!

Today

What is the best day- ever??? Today? Not always... Any day I spend time with my girls? Not always... any day that I spend time outdoors? Not always...

My best days are when I am not wishing, wanting, or need to be doing something else. My best days are spent Just living in the NOW.When we moved, my mom gave me a scrapbook page that had this saying on it. Since we have been here I have to get out the page and remind myself it is NOW, and live today. Today it is rainy and dreary here in Oregon and I miss my family TONS. But I have my beautiful girls who keep me going, I have a husband who is working hard and loves me, so with mixed emotions and bad days I will remember, it is NOW... And that is the best day ever!!

Our Halloween

Well I am a little behind on posting our Halloween pictures, but we where off again yesterday exploring so we just did not get to it. Halloween was a little different this year but we still had a good time.Our week started out on Wednesday at our Wards TRUNK OR TREAT. The Young Women and Young Men had put together a Haunted House and lots of fun games. Then we headed out to the Trunk or Treat. I wish I took Pictures of some of the cars that were decorated, some people go all out.Then on Thursday we decorated our Pumpkins. We found these cute Mr. Potato Head things to decorate your pumpkins. We really were going to carve some and do the Mr. pumpkin heads but when Wacey had to work late on Thursday the girls and I cheated and just did the Pirate and a Princess, But I think they turned out cute!!So after 2 days of getting ready the girls were really ready for Halloween. We went to the Harvest Fest that Lake Oswego has in "downtown" Lake Oswego. It was really fun, They had a Halloween street that all the business's had set up a little booth and the kids could get treats. And they were all good treats. They had cracker's and of coarse organic snacks (we are in Oregon) and tooth brushes!! We also went to Play boutique ( that is where we go once a week for play time and Hooked on Phonics) they had crafts and treats and a Chemistry lab!! They also had a lady do face painting and so Addey got the finishing touches on her costume.We finished the night meeting up with Wacey's second cousin who lives here in Oregon and went to the mall. The girls had a lot of fun and WAY to much candy but we had a great time together!!
