Today is the first anniversary of joining in covenant with the love of my life, Nelishia. It was one year ago today that we began our lives together as husband and wife. I have never known a love like this and never knew that a marriage could ever be anything like this. Until I met her, I thought this was only possible in the make-believe world of the movies. Our compatibilities with each other is something that we could not have possibly ever set out to accomplish. We often joke about the dating service that is so limited to “just” twenty-nine dimensions! We have so much more!
My life with Nelishia is beyond anything I ever imagined. This past year has been the sweetest year ever despite all we have been through. I told her just last night, that when the smoke cleared, WE were still here! We are in covenant. She is my precious gem, my “Hope Diamond.” 
I hold onto her firmly but gently as I would a fine precious jewel.
I would say that I will be in love with her the rest of our lives. But that isn’t long enough. Life is but a vapor – here and then it’s gone. So we’ll be in love and in covenant with each other “Forever and Always”. I know, there is no marriage in Heaven, but you make your Heaven, and I’ll make mine! Nelishia is my everything, my best friend, and all I need other than Jesus of course!
Happy 1st Anniversary, my Love, my Forever Sweetheart. I love you more than you’ll ever know this side of Heaven!
She's Everything by Brad Paisley
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
[Repeat chorus]
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
I Love You Forever, Sweetheart!
