Well----I waited forever to post this because I was so sad to graduate..but I think it is about time...we are going to miss you guys so much! What an awesome year we had last year!!! We had so much fun with you making tons of memories and strenthening our friendships. It was so neat to be able to see everyone grow as individuals, spiritually, and to each other. It will be even better this year!! We are so excited about the new house...about Kyle's football season, about Katie's youth-quest year, and LeighAnna's first year in nursing school! It's gonna be awesome!! We can't wait to hear all about it! Hang in there and HAVE FUN!!! And don't forget about us! and please don't forget to update this thing...haha...

So, here is Mel and John signing off.....graduating class of 2008

WE LOVE YOU, KYLE, KATIE and LEIGHANNA

Saying Goodbye To Aaron

We had a sad morning on Wednesday because we said goodbye to Aaron. We had a time of prayer and then he was off to Florida. Thankfully we had some comic relief from the on-going food fight between Ryan and Cimber. It started that morning in the Rot, and as you can see from the picture below, Ryan had the last word....he dumped a three-day-old snowcone on her, mixed in with some ranch dressing.

The Last Night of Cooking

Tuesday was our last night of cooking. Everyone came over and we cooked everything we had left in the freezer! It was also Brock birthday, so we celebrated that. It was also Aaron Lombardo's last night in Lyncburg, so we celebrated/were sad because of that.

The Old-Spice Commercial

I don't know how many of you have seen the Old-Spice commerical, but Aaron Beasely, one of our friends up here, wanted to reinact it! It turned out good!

John drove the truck and Ryan taped

Happy Birthday LEIGHANNA!!!

On Saturday, May 3, the Renstrom family hosted a birthday party for LeighAnna at the park. Nat and Adam were able to come, too! It was alot of fun!!

Melanie's Senior Recital

These are some pictures that Katie took of my senior recital. It went so well and it meant so much to me to have all of my friends and family there to support me! The Renstrom's were able to make it, too! P.S. Everyone was giving Kyle a hard time for wearing that ROCK on his finger :)

The Camp-Out at Chic-fil-a

On Thursday morning, there was a grand opening of a Chic-fil-a in Roanoke, VA, about 45 minutes away from Liberty. John and a group of friends camped out all night Wednesday and recevied 52 free combo meal coupons at 6:30 Thursday morning.

Here they are setting up there tent

Everyone lined up in the drive-thru for "nuggets at nine"

UTS

The UTS boys were back at it again for the Spring Tournament. They looked really great out there! Kyle and Ryan weren't allowed to play because they are on Liberty's team, but they helped coach on the sideline! The team won their first 2 games and got the first place seed in the tournament. They won the next and then lost in the semi-finals.

Britt and Mel were die-hard fans watching them play in the rain!

The Spring Game

Today was LU's spring game! It was Ryan Culkin's first game! Him and Kyle both did great!! Below are some pictures and some video clips of Kyle playing quaterback.

Here is Kyle receiving the play call from the sideline

Ryan Culkin is # 84
