Hi everyone! I am now Melissa Thornsvard! Very exciting : ) I met my husband, Brandon while in college at Radford University. We have been dating since 2000. After high school graduation I attended Radford to become a teacher. Now I teach 2nd grade at O.B. Gates Elementary and LOVE it! I still love Chester and go to visit my parents often. What a wonderful place to grow up and be surrounded by spectacular people. I must say, while in college I realized that we are a great crop of people from the town of Chester.

Brandon and I live in our home in Midlothian and are quite happy as newlyweds (July 14, 2007). I remain the closest of friends with the same gals from elementary, middle and high school. We are a family and have loved sharing our lives together.

I look so forward to seeing everyone soon! Can't wait to hear about your lives and reconnect. I am excited for you to meet Brandon, he's a great guy. He has heard all too much about the infamous Chester and what GOOD people I grew up with : )

Warmly, Melissa
