Witches Night Out

So the very night we moved back to Utah my Mom said to schedule Oct 22 for Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. We made our fabulous feather hats and sparkle tutus. And the best part...we matched!!

The Lynch witches came too (minus one, bummer) Talk about an awesome girls night!

There were some killer witch costumes and lots of girl power going around. We had some HOT soup in a bread-bowl, browsed the cute boutiques and shops, tried some KISS Sticks and went a little happy at a gummy bear bar.

Thanks girls for an awesome night. It was fun to be all together!!

Date Night Weekend!

Our first "Utah Weekend" was no disappointment! We spent Friday night at the Fall Home Show with my parents. It was fun to double with them and the booths were interesting.

The highlight of the night was listening to design duo Bob and Courtney Novogratz talk about their history, family and style.

I LOVE watching 9 By Design and even stalked their most recent project/home while we were still in NYC.

We ended the night with some BOMB.COM frozen yogurt from Orange Leaf. A first for Tyler and I but for sure not a last.

On Saturday we were invited by our good friends, the Wimmers, to go see Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus crew. It was such an awesome show and SO great to see old friends!!

Blurry pic but saaaweet nonetheless!!

Awesome events, awesome company, awesome weekend!

Change is Good??

I don't really even know what to say in this post. There is no way to compose all of the emotions that have flooded us the last few weeks. We decided it was time to close the NYC chapter and open a new one in Utah. It was SO hard saying our goodbyes, to the city and the many fabulous friends we've made. We were lucky enough to have had a bunch of events in the last month where we could see a lot of the beautiful people we are blessed to call friends.

The Glass's were our best friends, family and neighbors. We spent a lot of time with them and LOVED being "honorary members" of their family. We stayed with them our last few days in NY and before we left we cheered on Jason and he ran the Hampton's Marathon. It was a great weekend and chance to spend time together. We love you Glass family!!

Before it was known that we would be leaving NY, Darrin planned a "Drakesters Unite" evening. He must have been inspired to plan this for the week before we moved. We got together with a lot of the past/current employees and interns from Drake Design. It was so wonderful seeing everyone. I have made some fabulous lifelong friends during my 2.5 years at DDA.

Morgan and I have been friends since my Jr. year in design school. A month before we moved she and her husband, Britton, moved to NYC (they moved to our same ward!). Talk about terrible timing! We would have loved to explore the city with these two. We were very thankful for the month that we did have to spend some time together at numerous design events/church/dinners etc.

We learned so much about the world, about ourselves, and about our marriage. It was a chance of a lifetime and will forever be a dearly cherished time in our lives.

This is not "goodbye NY", it is "see you later".

On to the fun adventures Utah will bring...
