Longhorn in Paradise

As historians reflect on events that have occurred since the dawn of time, there is a tendency to mark certain events as more significant than others. Within those significant events, we further characterize certain moments in history as "world-changing". Some things that come to mind are the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, the assasination of Arch Duke Ferdinand, the development of Chile con Queso, etc. Most of these "world-changing" events have happened in the distant past. This is because it is hard to gauge the lasting impact of more recent events.

Well, after 41 years, I think it is safe to now say that the birth of Kirsten Lynne Pyle was, if not a "world-changing" event, definitely a moment in time that we should all be thankful for. I know that I am. I cannot imagine my life without her in it and I have to believe that many readers of this blog feel the same way. Her unending love, humor and kindness and willingness to help out whenever and wherever she can has certainly impacted who I am today and I am forever thankful to her for that.

So, Happy Birthday sis! Kick up your heels and celebrate life!!

Much love!!
