For the love of Lemon Zest ... URGENT!!

For the LOVE LOVE LOVE of Lemon Zest ...can someone somewhere in this gorgeous Planet HELP me?? Please!! I'm planning on making this delicious "out of this world my favorite OH SO ...YUM" ...LEMON PIE. But that will be in 3 weeks from now ...and the thing is that I already have 15 very ripe and handsome lemons on my fridge. (My aunt gave them to me straight from the tree). To preserve their freshness I'm thinking about this two ideas: (1) squeezing out their juice and freeze it. OK ...NO problema AMIGOS! But I have a doubt, I'm also thinking about, (2) taking out their zest (peel). Maybe I'll put it in some ziplock bag and to the freezer it goes... Anyway the problem is that I'm NOT sure about doing this second idea. My worries are because I think that if I take out their zest, maybe important components of it will evaporate as part of a natural process and by the time I will finally use this zest ...it will NOT make its work on my fabulous delicioso lemon pie because it will NOT have the proper components, the oils, nor the flavor. Please tell me if this is the correct procedure in order to preserve my loving LEMON ZEST!!! :(
