Magical

We never took the opportunity while in New York, so when we heard the Rockettes were coming to SLC we knew we HAD to get tickets! It was an amazing show. Those girls are like robots the way they are so in sync. I loved the "soldiers" scene and Tyler liked when the toys came alive. The scenery was fantastic. I didn't make it through without tears (surprise surprise) but I was so glad we went on that "mind trip" to NYC.

Tickets: $87.25

Treats for the show: $2.05

Announcing there are 3 of us in this picture: PRICELESS.

Baby Lynch is due June 7, 2011

We are so excited!!!

Listen Up!!

My bestie from NYC is giving away 5 copies of her Christmas CD!! You MUST check out the sampler here. Then, once you're in awe of her talent, enter the running by leaving a comment. The winner will be announced Tuesday 11/23 at 9am EST.

My Sister is a Baller

It has been so awesome being able to be here for a few of my sister Dallas's volleyball games. She is the captain of Wood Cross's varsity team. It was so fun to watch not only her mad skills (9'-3" vertical jump!!) but also to watch her lead her team.

I was so glad we were there on senior night to support her in her last game at Woods Cross High School. I am so proud of her talent, dedication and great attitude!

Love you Dallas!!

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...

My Mama's 50!

What is better than Park City in the fall with temps still in the high 70s?!

We flew to Utah this last weekend to celebrate my Mom's 50th birthday. We spent the weekend in Park City and it was just perfect! Aren't the leaves gorgeous?

The first night we spent enjoying Main St. and had a fabulous meal on the patio of this place.

Saturday we spent TOO many hours and $ at the outlets. We crashed on a little patch of grass for some lunch.

Then we headed to the PCMR to ride the Alpine Coaster. It's such an awesome ride. You're right down in the grass and zipping through the trees, FAST!

We were pooped from the 45 minutes in line (in 80 degree weather!) so we parked ourselves at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. T and I enjoyed a caramel apple!

That night we had Mom's party! It was so fun. My brother put together an AWESOME video of pics, stories and memories. Then Tyler and I put together this "Price is Right" game from 1960. Gas was $0.31/gal. Whaat?! The dinner was first-class and the cake - delish!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

On Sunday we ventured into the fall-ness (allergies included!!) and took some family pics.

The sibs!

Then we headed to the Olympic Park and watched people fly into the freestyle aerials training pool. I could have stayed there all day, it was so cool!!

We spent the rest of Sunday and Monday in Pleasant Grove with Ty's friends and family. Too much fun for pics I guess, I didn't take a single one! :(

We love Park City. We love fall. We love family. We LOVED this weekend trip.

US Open 2010

Remember last Labor Day when we vowed to purchase US Open tickets in ADVANCE? We did it!! And what an incredible experience!

We got there early to enjoy the surrounding park. The Unisphere is the unofficial symbol of Queens so we had to get pics to show our Queens pride!

Our nosebleed seats did provide for some sweet views!

This being our first US Open, we didn't know when you purchase tickets for the night session it means you get to see 2 matches. BONUS!!

The first match was Vera Zvonareva vs. Andrea Petkovic. The first set was pretty much the 'Zvonareva show' but Petkovic brought her game in the second set, not enough though and Zvonareva won in 2.

Then the men's match between Roger Federer and Jurgen Melzer. We were so excited to watch Federer live. He didn't disappoint, that man is insane!

On the jumbotron, they kept showing the various celebs that were there. I have not had a close-up-unplanned-in-their-element celeb sighting (Broadway, parades, etc. didn't count for me) so I convinced Tyler to go hunt some down with me. We went to the court level but immediately were told to sit down! So we grabbed 2 empty seats and enjoyed Federer's final set. Up close and personal! The game was much more intense being that close and we loved it!

I have to give Ty props, he's the one that spotted Gwen and her beau. We were SO close and I was SO excited!!

Then I spotted her in a nearby suite...Cameron Diaz! One of my most fav celebs of all time. This is the moment that my camera died! Ahh So these pics are the best my iPhone could do. She is so beautiful!!

What an ending to our incredible night. We had such a great time and made amazing memories. I think Labor Day might be my favorite holiday now
