scott took me on a "european date" this past friday night after work. he read my blog below about needing some europe in our lives, and treated me to tapas, sparkling sangria and an evening at the museum. 

the picture included is of an exhibit we really enjoyed. all of the squares were covered in different materials, textures, and colors where kids and adults alike could write how the square made them feel on a post it note and stick it to the wall. we thought it was cool, and i thought scott was cool for taking me on a fun date!

the ramsey's started a blog!

::: italy :::

this is a picture of the piazza we always hung out at when i studied abroad in castiglion fiorentino, the summer after my sophomore year. it had 3 huge arches at the center of its square, where you could sit and read, eat gelato or just stare out into the beauty of italy. i have travel fever and wish scott and i could be there now. abby is going to italy at the end of may. i will have to live vicariously through her...

still pining away for this wedding registry item...

saving up to buy it. waiting for it go on on sale. please?
has anyone ever seen this chalkboard paint installed? scott has mentioned it a few times and when i saw this image on martha stewart, i loved it. we might find some cool frames and paint the insides of them with chalkboard paint, or maybe we will do this calendar idea? 

yeah for fun weekend projects!

concepts my new patio.


its only 48"x48", so it won't fit much. but i want to make another space for our home, where we can have a romantic dinner, or simply read a book on a pretty day. these are my ideas...

sushi. on. mckinney.







sushi on mckinney. one of the greatest sushi restaurants in dallas. 
the robb roll and a little 80's decor is all you need. 

august 15th, 2008 was a sad day. 
according to pegasus news, they shut down so the owner could retire.

did ben sanada know the number of people he would disappoint? 

they must have heard from their fans because it is re-opening in april!
i have had it in my april calendar all year, and now that it is mid april, i, along with many in my office, are waiting on pins and needles for its new debut. 

i have emailed sushionmckinney@gmail.com to see when the blessed day is so we can be one of the first to return! robb roll, here we come! :)

this delicious little restaurant in the bishop arts district has become one of my dad and i's favorite. We ate here one night, and returned the next week with Scott. I LOVE the design style and detail here. I feel inspired when I dine at Tillmans. Plus, they have a delicious orange margarita!

april fools.

this morning I emailed some of the girls and told them I was pregnant....
please see the hilarious correspondence below. I feel bad about Natalie tearing up, I really do.

Lindsay Schardt Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 1:04 PM

friends. please don't share this with anyone yet...but last night I took 3 pregnancy tests when I got home because I have thrown up twice at work in the morning (once last week, and monday) and have been getting hot flashes and just don't feel well.....so I was nervous, because I was on the antibiotic and I think it messed up my birth control.
 
So all 3 of the tests said I was pregnant....I am freaking out. I am so nervous. I haven't told Scott yet....I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I can't wait until after work and Bible Study so we can talk about this. I need yall and I am so freaking freaked. I would love to have a baby, but Scott will freak out and I am so nervous. aaaaaaaaah. oh my. Can we all leave work and meet up right now? Surely, maybe they are wrong. They were just the cheap kind at Walgreens....
 
What would I do if this was going to happen,
Lin


AHHHHHHHHHHH!
