Happy Easter!!

Just wanted to get a quick post up to say I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend full of tons of chocolate and tons of family...no doubt that worked out for most of us. It has been a little wild what with Charing having nine kids at her house and Boo having Natalia for the weekend. We had a VERY late cold spell and even ended up with some snow on the ground. Definently made for a cold Easter egg hunt, but we take what we can get! Anyways, hope you all had a great Easter!

Out to Lunch

So, I suck a little. I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up. I have no good reason...not waiting on pictures...not waiting to get all the details...I just never made the time...until now!

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!

Happy St. Patrick's Day ZPO! I hope you all are wearing your green and eating lots of green food this evening...what's that? Not everyone uses an entire bottle of green food coloring for St. Patrick's Day dinner...then you don't know how to eat !!

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!!

Get Well Soon!

Our junior member is heading under the knife! Little sweet Morgan is going in to get her tonsils taken out tomorrow morning. Morgan, you are going to fit right in with the rest of the ZPO's...I am thinking over half the group have had theirs removed as well! We all hope you are back up and running as soon as possible. Until then, enjoy the time off school and all the ice cream and soft food you can handle!

Dinner at Liz's New House!

We had our February meeting back a couple of weeks ago (sorry this post is a little late!). Liz had all of us over for dinner at her and Cory's new house! The house if full of so many memories because they bought it from our parents. They have done such a wonderful job of decorating it and it looks so great! It is funny to be in a new home that already feel so comfortable!

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!

Get Well Soon!!

Charings step-dad is in the hospital. All the ZPO's know and love Marty, so needless to say we are all very worried. Apparently he had a stroke on Saturday, and was having an Angiogram done today. As of this morning he was doing well. It is always so difficult when these things happen. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Have a Great Trip!!!

Our sweet Charing had left the state. Her wonderful Aunt Gomy (is that how you spell Gomy???) figured she needed a weekend away, so she flew Charing and Carter up to New York to hang with the family for a couple of days. They are just in time to ring in the Chinese New Year!

Charing, we hope you are recharging and relaxing, but come home soon!!! We miss you!

Next Friday is ZPO at Liz's house. Be there or be square!(That's right)

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day ZPO! I know some of you lucky girls were all out of school today...what a perfect start to the day of luv!! Anyways, just a quick post to say that I hope everyone has a perfect valentines Day!

Looks like we are going to have the February meeting on the 23rd at Liz's house. Should be really great, so everybody better be there!

Super Bowl Sunday!

So last Sunday was the Super Bowl, so of course the ZPO's had to have a party! We all headed over to Charing and Scott's for the big event (that is, all of us but Candice, who had to work that night). Everybody brought over some food so it was a big pot luck. Scott made a betting table, so we could all have a chance at winning some money on the game. The big winners turned out to be Boo&Chris and Charing&Scott. Not to bad!

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!

Before I begin this post, I will say that yes we know we made up dumb names for things, and no we don't care! So some of the ZPO's have started a weekly lunch date. It is so wonderful!! The gang is usually me, Charing, Missy and my friend Tarp from work. we were joined by Boo and Candice on a snow day, and I assume they will be regulars along with Rhi in the summer time. Anyways, we are now calling it the Lunch Bunch, and once an event gets a name, then it is high time it had a post!

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!
