I did see them and they were beautiful. Around noon I looked for found Venus very easily since I knew where it was relative to the moon.

Did anyone catch the beautiful waning crescent moon juxtaposed to Venus this morning. It was awe inspiring.
I was in the middle of a shift working at a drill rig in the Book Cliffs when I looked up and saw them. I had to stop what I was doing and take a picture. It would have been worth getting up for.
Thank You,
