Back to School and August ZPO
We also had our August ZPO this past weekend. ZPO dates have kind of been blurred this summer because...well, honestly we have been doing so much stuff together! Not something to complain about at all, but it makes posting about our monthly meeting a little different. That and the fact that I cannot get my ass on the ball of keeping up with this site. Anyway, this weekend was the scheduled ZPO for August. Friday night me, Nick, Boo, Chris, Charing, Scott, Candice and Davis all went out to Atomic Cafe for drinks. We always enjoy their patio and all had a really great time!
Saturday morning Charing, Boo, Liz, Rhi and I all met for breakfast and catching up at Charings. Charing, thanks for putting up with us all...we know we might have been slightly overwhelming what with all of the drinking from the night before, but we all had a really great time! That afternoon Boo, Charing, Carter and I headed down to the Woodland Craft fair. They have such amazing stuff....plus damn good food! That night the Cooks, Kelseys and Cpreks all went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's then over to Marikka's for some drinks. We got to watch a very fascinating display on the volleyball court....oh the man who thought he needed his shirt unbuttoned...and then his jeans peg rolled...now that was a real treat!
So you see what I mean, blurred lines. Either way, the ZPO girls are getting lots of time in together and we are all having a blast!

Candice's BIG 2-5

Happy Birthday USA!!
We where, of course, at Tarp & Jim's Fabulous 4th of July White Party!!! The evening started of rainy and we thought the fireworks might be cancelled but luckily the rain stopped just in time! Tarp has an awesome roof top patio with a perfect view of the downtown fireworks! The fireworks were great even though we wrongly predicted the "grand finalle" 4 times before it actually happened!
We drank, laughed, danced...basically celebrated our nation's birthday with style! Everyone's already looking forward to next year! What the theme be...we'll have to wait to find out!!

Vacations!
Rhi and Travis just got back from Florida with her family this week. Rhi, we missed you and are so happy you had such a great time!
Charing and Boo are both leaving on Family vacation today. Charing will be with the family in New York while Boo and Chris will be with Chris's family in Hilton Head. I am sure you all will have a great time! We will miss you and can't wait to see you in a week!
Next weekend Candice is heading down to Florida with Davis and his family. We will miss you guys at the 4th of July Bash, but I am sure the beach is a good trade! Have fun!
Me, Liz and Missy are going nowhere. How sad is that? Doesn't really seem right, does it?

May's Meeting
So, a couple of weekends ago we had our first ZPO night out in quite some time. We have actually changed up the ZPO planning a bit. We are now each taking turns planning a month. We set our date, someone takes charge, and whoever can come will come. This month was really a very small group due to the fact that we had it on Memorial Day weekend and lots of people had family and friends in town. Anyway, Boo (who was doing the planning), me, Charing and Candice all headed down for a wonderful night of dinner and drinks on the patio at Atomic Cafe.
We had such a wonderful time! Our food was wonderful, our drinks would have been awesome had they not tried to kill me by spiking my drink with NASTY NASTY BANANA Liquor. How could they?!?! Boo told us all about her IVF plans. She has a new personal blog about the entire process. Take a look at her new site Optimistically Waiting and keep up with their process while giving her tons of love and support! (Boo-we all love you and are so excited for you and behind you all 100%!!)Anyway, the band was great, the conversation was great, the weather was perfect...all in all it was a perfect night out with the girls!
***In case you haven't noticed, the ZPO site has undergone a serious face lift. Liz used her mad skills to come up with a new picture for the site, so I worked with it to come up with our new look. Hope you all like it!***

Graduation!
On a different note...sorry I have been gone for the past month. I have not been coming home for lunch lately, and when I have time to post, I usually am getting something up on Bio Girl....so that being said, I think I am going to be handing over the reigns of ZPO here shortly. I am VERY excited to tell you that Charing will be in charge of the day to day postings and updates around here. How great, right!
On a second different note, Liz has been working on a new picture for our site. She finished it today and let me tell you, it is really great! I will be working on building the rest of the site around the new picture, and should have our new look up within the next week!

Out to Lunch
A couple of weeks ago the ZPO's all got together for Lunch at the Nagasaki Inn. Oh lord this place is so good! Liz was not able to make it because her inlaws were in town, plus they had stuff to do with the house. All the other girls were there and it was really nice to all be out together. There were plenty of very interesting stories told (esp. thanks to Candice) lots of laughing and catching up.
After we had our lunch we headed over to Candice's apartment which is right around the corner. Her place is seriously adorable! Candice, you have really turned it into a home. I love it! We sat around there and laughed some more. Anyways, that was basically our day. It was great!
***Now, here is a list of things that should have been posted on ZPO when they happened but I didn't get them up here***
Candice-have a great time in Florida! Be careful. We will miss you, but hope you have a blast!
Candice- Welcome home from Florida! We missed you!
Boo, Rhi, Charing, Candice, Missy and Morgan-Enjoy spring break! I am thinking Liz and I got the raw end of the deal here....
Liz-congrat's on the new car. It is awesome!
Missy- We are so proud of you for making the Dean's List! You are doing so great in school!
*****************
Okay, that is all I can think of for now. I promise to do better keeping up with our ZPO site. Sorry!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I wanted to give everyone a quick update on Marty. He and Charing (Charing's mom Charing) flew out to New York last weekend. There was a surgeon there who was able to do the surgery. There are very few doctors in the US who are do this procedure, so it was great there was someone in New York City where their family is.
He had the surgery on Tuesday and came out perfect! Needless to say when you operate on the main artery leading to the brain the risks are high, but he sailed through. He was in ICU for a couple of days and is now released from the hospital. They are heading home from NY in a couple of days! We are all so excited that everything worked out so well! Marty, we all love you and can't wait for you to come home!!

Dinner at Liz's New House!
Liz made a great dinner for everyone. We had salad and lasagna which were both wonderful! She also made this really great coffee cake, so all in all the food was just about perfect! All the girls were there except for Missy, who has to work weekend nights due to school. Missy, we will have a lunch ZPO soon! We missed you!!
The night was really perfect. We sat around talking and laughing, watching old videos and telling stories. After Charing warned us to watch our glasses due to Carter, she did managed to spill her own! The funniest part was her scream! Thank God Liz and Cory have hard wood. No damage done! All in all it was a great night with the girls. Liz, thanks so much for having us all over. It was great!

Super Bowl Sunday!
Along with watching the game, we got to meet Rhi's boyfriend Travis, who was very nice. We also met Missys friend from school. The more the merrier! The game was really exciting and fun to watch. Funny that they always put the Super Bowl in places with nice weather, then they had the terrible down-pour the entire game.
We were all routing for the Colts, so it turned out perfect in the end. Thanks again to Charing and Scott for having us all over. It is always fun to watch the big game with a crowd!

The Lunch Bunch!
As for now, we are doing lunch at Charings house, but maybe in the spring we will venture out the patios and what not . Take in some fresh air(and work in a place where Liz would have time to meet and join in the fun!)! Anyways, lunch bunch is always really great and Charing is so wonderful for being the host!
Don't forget about the Super Bowl party this weekend! Hope everyone is able to make it!

My new Blog!
Looks like the Super Bowl party is on a roll. We are planning on 4:30 at Charing and Scott's. Everyone is bringing a dish and some drinks. We are also going to have a pool going, so there might even be a little money in it for you! Can't wait to see everyone there!

The Meeting that Wasn't
Our January meeting was scheduled for last Friday, but sadly it fell apart. We were meeting at Liz's new house so we could all see how great it is. Unfortunately, the day of the meeting Liz had a TERRIBLE toothache and it was just not possible for her to host a dinner when she was so miserable. We thought of still having it, but Candice was in South Carolina and Missy had to work, so we thought it was best to postpone. We are hoping to all get togther for our next meeting really soon, but the date hasn't been set. I will keep you all posted!
We have all had so much going on these days. Candice is in high swing with her student teaching and interviews for next year. It has been really tough, but it is so exciting. Candice, we know you will get a great school and the perfect job!
Rhi and her new beau Travis have been spending lots of time together and it is going really great! We are hoping to meet him at Super Bowl. Speaking of which, Charing and Scott are having people over for the game, and we are all invited! Should be great!! We will work out the details later.
As for the rest of us, life is crazy but good. Work is crazy, home is crazy...you know you know. We are back to our 130 meetings every Saturday morning, so that is great (great company for breakfast but the scale can be cruel....)
Anyways, I am heading for SIS day so I must run, but really wanted to keep my promise. I will say that I had to go back and read all the old posts on the site the other day due to a request to remove anything that is not appropriate, and let me tell you...I really enjoyed it! Whenever you all are waiting weeks for a new post, you should just go read the old ones and see how great I used to be at posting and all the great stuff we have done! Thats it for now. Have a great weekend!!

Our Little Basketball Star
look at how cute she is in her uniform!! (showing how I am not athletic at all being that what I notice is her outfit...)And doesn't she look fast and what not?!?!
looks like great form to me!
and she guards...that is also really great....so I assume
Morgan, we might not all be great b-ball players, but we do know one when we see one. We are all so proud of you!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I promise to post with updates on ZPO life by the end of the week, but for now I am off to dinner. Hope everyone is having a great week!

The Best New Years Eve Party EVER!!
You know how New Years partys almost always kind of disappoint. No matter how much work you put into it, the party just never lives up to what you feel like a New Years bash should be?? Well, let me tell you this DID NOT happen this year! We had the best night ever!!
Caring and Scott were so wonderful and had the New Years party at their house. It is so great to do things over there because they have so much room for all of us. They have the perfect party house!
One wonderful thing that helped to make the party perfect was that all seven ZPO's were there! With our busy schedules and different lives, that commonly is difficult for a big holiday, but we pulled it off to bring in the new year!
The party was actually really big! Everyone seemed to bring a few extra people (very few of which seemed to be pictured...because...well, we like pictures of ourselves!) But the point being, we had a really good crowd (very important for a new years party). The Kelseys had gone all out and had tons of great food and of course a never ending supply of any alcohol you can thing of (also very important for the perfect new years party!)
We had some important guests that are worth mentioning...First off, Josh was in from the war! He had his leave over the holiday so he got to spend new years with us. It was so wonderful to see him home safe and sound! He looks so grown up! We also got to meet Gunner for the first time! He is Davis and Candice's new German Shepherd puppy. He is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen. Between Gunner, Ebony and Chach, Carter was very entertained!!
The party rolled into the early morning with people drinking, laughing...and I am pretty sure there was even some dancing going on! Nick and I headed for home around 4am and still left a handful of people sitting around in the garage laughing and talking. Like I said...the best new years party ever!!

Happy New Year ZPO...and other things
A quick update on a couple of other things....
Our little genius Missy made straight A's! Missy, we are all so proud of you! Keep up the great work!
Are you ready for this one....Morgan made the HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM!!!!!!! Let me remind you that she is in the seventh grade. AMAZING!! Morgan, we are so proud! We can't wait to see you in the old red and black!
I fixed the link to the wedding pictures on the last post. My bad. I entered it in wrong. Anyways, it now works perfectly and you can take a look at the wedding pic's whenever you like!
I will also add that the ZPO's all had a great Christmas (maybe except for Rhi who spend a large chunk of it looking for her cat..but he was found!!) Candice and Davis have a new dog, Rhi has a new iRiver, Boo has a new kitchenaid, Missy has a new laptop, I have a new coat and a new coach (plus a new Wii I am completely addicted too), Liz has a new house, and Charing has a new wedding ring(plus starting today an empty house...which might be worth more)! Not bad at all!! We all missed our families that couldn't be with us, but all in all it was a perfect rainy Christmas! That's about it for now. I am off to work!
