Spooky...

So the other night we finally carved pumpkins...

We knew this extra set of knifes from our wedding would come in handy some day!

Yummy!

The final product! Dusty was very creative and carved a haunted house with a bat. I just carved circles all around mine, it looks cool cause it puts big circles on the outside of our house.

Happy Halloween!

Challah Bread

Yesterday Dusty made a roast for dinner and I made Challah bread. I made the dough in the dough maker and then braided it it, it was so fun to make!

October!!

Wow! It's been forever since we updated this thing.

We're back in Logan now. Soaking up some last minute fall sun, going to school and working. Last week it was Kasey's birthday so we went and had cake and cupcakes with her roomies.

She's not a teenager anymore!

Dusty spent the weekend at a Bioneers conference up on campus learning about the enviroment and mushrooms.
Yesterday the weather was super nice so we spent it outside. I worked on a model of the light I designed for the designer that is coming on Wednesday and Dusty washed the cars.

I still have to put it all together.

Yesterday afternoon we went for a really long hike up the canyon on a trail called Crimson. It was awesome and so warm outside!

So, a couple days ago I got this awesome book called Domino: the book of decorating. Domino is a design magazine that decided to write a book and the book is so good! It goes room by room and gives so many fabulous ideas!

Happy Fourth of July

This weekend was awesome. We each had half days on Thursday for the holiday. And we had visitors! My Mom and Preston came see us for the weeken, we had a lot of fun doing all sorts of things even though it rained off and on.
These are some pictures Dusty took off City Hall, pretty cool buildings

So, these pictures are out of order but oh well. We went and watched the fireworks down by the Brooklyn bridge. At the end there was so much smoke from the fireworks and the clouds from the rain that we could barely see the finale.
This is Preston in the Met at the armor exhibit
even the horses got all decked out
It stopped raining for a little bit so we walked through central park
This was at the Brooklyn Bridge on July fourth, right now they have a water fall display going under the bridge


This was on Saturday, we went and tried a mexican restaurant which was fun, we were all soaking wet from the down pour

Arrrr Matey

Well, today was fun I got to work in the showroom all day with Joe the other intern it was way nice to have a break from the normal office happenings and have a change of scenery. This is a fuzzy picture of the full time interns with Vicente, Joe, Jesi, and me in the showroom .


This is Trudy and Josh, they work in the Vicente's showroom.
Vicente likes to design a lot of his own furniture like the sofa above. But most of the things he finds while traveling.
They have gotten a lot of new things in and sold a lot so we worked on rearranging everything to fit in the showroom and make it look beautiful. These are pics from before we started.
Today I also got to go to site visit with one of the lead designers. It is an old Tiffany's building at Union Square. The building is still under construction this is just the model apt. The master bedroom

Bathroom, one of four in a one bedroom apt...interesting right?




Vicente likes to mix new and old and a lot of different things together, but it all works in the end.

Utah State reunion at the concert.

Knitted Corral Reef at this mall where we watched teenagers in a dancing competition for a while.

Outside the mall, we totally walked by Tyne Daly, Mom, you know that older lady from Judging Amy with the silver hair. Ya, that is our biggest celebrity sighting so far...

Irish Hunger Memorial

On saturday we did all the stuff to get ready for sunday, and then we went to the World Financial Center to watch a dance performance, and tour battery park. Later we saw Romeo & Juliet in the park, and finally got to see a Yael Naim concert in Central Park (she sings the song from apple iphone commercials).

This was our captain on the sail boat we went out on

Federal Hall. These are the steps where George Washington was sworn in as President.

Kosher Sub anyone?

On Friday we both only worked half days again (yea for summer), so we had the whole afternoon to explore New York. Chels found a free harbor time on the south seaport museums sail boat, so off we went. Our tour wasn't until 8:30 so we spent the afternoon exploring Wall Street.
