Erika, I am not sure if you have any clue who I am. I went to high school with Kimberly McDonald. My maiden name was Shea Busching. I remember you were friends with their family. I saw your blog a while back when I was reading either Kim or Mollie's blog. I thought I saw you today at First Baptist Clinton's preschool program, so I went looking for your blog again. I see that your oldest goes to school there. I guess I didn't see you at the thanksgiving program since I see ya'll were sick. My oldest little boy, Luke is in Mrs. Courtney's class there. How do ya'll like it? Do ya'll live in Clinton?
