Palm Tree Down

Pop and Nana with the grandkids! We enjoyed Pop's b-day this weekend!

Trevor getting our dead palm tree down!

Our Home

It's Sunday evening now and Trevor just finished taking down the dead palm tree that was on the left side of our house. Several palms have died in our neighborhood...we have one left as you can see in the photo of our home.

This was a nice weekend off work. Friday AM Trevor met with our chiropractor, Dr. Scott, for a radio taping. Saturday AM at 7:30 it was on the radio and we woke up to listen. Then we volunteered at our Community Kitchen here in MB and Trevor's parents went with us. After lunch we went to our YMCA and tried out a new exercise class, Zumba...the guys ended up leaving...more of a girl class! So, maybe Jeanne and I will go again.

It was Dennis' b-day Saturday. We enjoyed dinner with the family here in MB last night as we celebrated Pop's b-day. Trevor and I made a "no water cake" for Dennis...we realized after it was baked that it didn't look just right...well the water had been left out! We ate it anyway...icing and ice cream can make anything good, right!? =)

We enjoyed worship at FUMC this AM. The afternoon was restful and then we worked on some housework and Trevor the palm tree. School starts for kids here in Horry Co. tomorrow. Our friends, Scott & Amy, from church have a daughter starting kindergarten. Amy said she is amazed at how fast the first 5 yrs have gone with her daughter! My friend, Cindy, continues rehab in Charlotte and seems to be doing well with that. We are continuing to pray for her and her family. Wendy is scheduled to have baby Lyla this Friday! We pray all goes well for Wendy and Lyla this week.

2nd OB Visit

This morning Trevor and I had the 2nd OB visit. All my lab work came back "normal" from the last visit. We enjoyed hearing our baby's heartbeat again today!! I am sure as the baby continues to grow...making my tummy grow...it will seem more real each day! We pray that our baby continues to develop well and that we stay healthy. We continue to go for our Chiropractic adjustments each week. My next appt. will be in 4 weeks. My sister is also doing well and she may find out if they are having a boy or girl on her next OB visit!

My sister-in-law, Wendy, is hoping her 2nd daughter, Lyla, comes soon! We are praying for her as she has had some vision trouble recently. I know the doctors are watching her closely to make sure mom and baby are OK.

Dennis seems to be recovering well from his recent back surgery. We have enjoyed watching the Olympics with them some. My friend, Cindy, is at a rehab facility in Charlotte since her back surgery. Prayers continue for both Dennis and Cindy.

Also in baby news, my cousin Monica's baby shower- for her twin boys-is this Sat. in Clinton, N.C. I am sad to have to miss the shower but will be in touch with her. Her twins are due around the beginning of November...exciting times!

My sister, Noelle, is starting her JUNIOR year at ECU tomorrow...we hope you have a great year, Noelle!!! So proud of you!

Thursday night for my birthday

Trevor took me out to dinner for my birthday Thursday night. =) We had leftovers to eat Friday before we left for Charleston. Leftovers are great!

Trevor and I enjoyed visiting Charleston Aug. 8-10. We enjoyed some good food there as well. I pointed out some of the sights I had seen on my past visits to Trevor. My cousin, Nena, used to live near Charleston, so I had visited her in the past with my Uncle Devon, Aunt Linda Faye and several other family members. My uncle Devon loved to take pictures, so I certainly had that in common with him. He passed away in 1997, so I am thankful for the good memories with him.

Some of the things we enjoyed this past weekend: walking downtown, great food, sitting at the battery, water fountains, love seeing the old homes/porches (our house now is actually "Charleston style", so we really enjoy that), carriage tour, "fancy dinner" out at High Cotton, walking through the markets, and Sunday we visited Magnolia Plantation/Gardens on the way home.

I am happy to hear my friend, Cindy, has been recovering well after her surgery last week. She may go to rehab tomorrow. My father-in-law Dennis, is on his way home after having back surgery last week. He ended up staying on the same floor in the hospital as Cindy...what a small world! Keeping you both in my prayers!

Here are a few pictures from tonight. Also, I wanted to mention my father-in-law Dennis, known as Pop and Poppop, we are praying for his quick recovery from back surgery this Friday. We love you, Pop! Get Well Soon! (Carolina Blue, just for you) Love, the only "Duke Setzer".

Early birthday surprise

Some of my Setzer family surprised me tonight for my upcoming 29th birthday, Aug. 7. The nieces and nephews here in Myrtle Beach this week made me a b-day sign, card, had me balloons and a yummy cake! They were so sweet when I walked in at Dennis and Jeanne's tonight (my in-laws) and said "Surprise"!

Today marks about week 10 in my pregnancy! Trevor and I are really excited and ask for you to keep us in your prayers. Our baby should be due between the end of Feb-March 1, 2009. This will be grandbaby #9 for Dennis and Jeanne. For my parents, they are expecting grandbaby #1 and #2 within about a month of each other!

A dear friend of mine, Cindy Gurley, has been fighting cancer for over 8 years and this past week she started having some complications and is back in the hospital at Carolina's Medical Center. She has some important decisions to make about her health care this week, so please keep Cindy and her husband, Dan, in your prayers. Cindy is such a strong woman in the Lord and has been such an inspiration to me over the years! She was one of my ADN instructors at Sampson Community College from 1998-2000. We became good friends completing a bible study together and have stayed in touch every since. I love you, Cindy! oxoxox

A thank you goes out to Wendy, my sister-in-law, for inspiring me to start a blog. I have enjoyed reading hers for several mo's now. And keep Wendy in your prayers this week...she is about to have her 2nd girl, Lyla, due any day now! I better close for now since I work in the AM! Good Night!
