Carried Away

I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasing crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around

... I get carried away

Thirteen years ago today I married my soul mate and best friend, and It's been a remarkable journey. Through the years we have had our share of struggles, but always supported each other. We have laughed and cried together. We have taken some wonderful trips, and have raised a loving and caring child. She brings out the best in me and when I think about her I still get carried away.

Too many times we forget to appreciate the relationship we have with our spouses. Several years back when my wife was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis it shattered me. Each new day is a gift and a new adventure with her. Her faith has stayed strong, and she builds my faith when I get weak. I thank God everyday for her, and cannot imagine my life without her. Even after thirteen years, I still get carried away.

I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on
Baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothing matters but being with you
Like a feather flying high up in the sky
On a windy day
I get carried away

Growing old with my beautiful wife is... on this cowboys mind


I love you Alanna...
