The Beesleys


Tucker's brother Patrick has been called to serve on a mission in the Tallahasse, FL mission. He arrived at the MTC on December 14th, we are going to miss him!

We got to see the new Josheph Smith movie at the Oakland Temple. We highly recommend it!

At the Oakland Temple







We have enjoyed traveling together this past year. Our recent travels have taken us back east to include Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, and on our vacation to Utah, Vegas, and of course, all over California for work.

Everywhere we went back east I (Stephanie) tried to find a barbershop chorus to attend. I got to meet a lot of neat women and sing with a lot of great people. I have stated taking arranging lessons from my director, and am really enjoying them. My goal is to arrange a song that is sung by a quartet or Chorus that is sung on the International stage. That, of course, is only the beginning. My "career" goals also include becoming a certified music judge in the Sweet Adeline International Organization. My director is encouraging me to take the certification for judgeship soon, because he believes I am ready. I still have to jump through a few hoops before I can do that, so for now, I am just working as hard as i can each day to better my listening abilities and arranging skills.

The biggest news for us, is that I sold my first arrangement, (contingent upon it's completion) to a great quartet in my chorus!! I am very excited to finish it, and get to hear a piece of my own music sung on stage!!!! I'm on my way to accomplishing my goals, thanks to a lot of dedication and support.

Pictures below are of Tucker at the Oakland Temple, and also of Tucker and me at the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas a few months ago, when we went to visit Aaron and Adam in Vegas. Tucker and I also have a website, please visit if you wish. It's updated often, so please bookmark! http://oregonbeesleys.blogspot.com/
