37 Days

One day closer and one day more ready then the last. Closer we get the more exciting it is. Kelley and I didn't get to spend much time together until 11:00 at night. Kelley is a great comforter. I had a bad band tryout but Kelley was there to comfort. Always allow your spouse comfort you in anyway they can. Never push them away, you can do more damage than you think. The thing I love about this blog is that I can write about how much I love Kelley! Please pray that God will help Kelley and I to love each other more and more. Also, that we would glorify Christ together. We want to be champions for Jesus Christ!

I am starting to realize why people don't update their blog everyday. It gets really hard to do so when you have tons of things happen during the day. Anyways, here we go.

Yesterday was a great day. It didn't start out that great but after the morning, it was perfect. I am learning more and more that Guys and Girls are very different from each other when it comes to understanding what the other said. Yesterday we got in the middle of assuming the other person understood what was going on for that day. I think somewhere in our conversation we had our wires mixed up. You see, Kelley had asked me to do some tasks for the wedding. I, in doing them, thought I had come to a point where I couldn't do any more. When we sat down to discuss them it became obvious that I only halfway understood what I was supposed to do. It is going to take time for us to be able to fully understand what needs to happen or what the other person wants; while doing things with the other persons best interests in mind. I am so glad that I am marrying someone who desires to learn from these things. Kelley Langdon is amazing and I am blessed to be able to marry such a wise and loving person. Please pray that God will keep teaching us how to understand what the other person is saying so we may work better in glorifying Him.

P.S.
What did the person say to the captain? Caps

Well, it happened, I wasn't able to update everyday. I tried but something made it hard to do so. Anyways yesterday was amazing. At the of the day Kelley and were able to just hang out at Liberty. We ended up spending some time Liberty just walking around the campus; talk about fun. We had never done it before. As we walked, we talked about an opportunity that Kelley might have in the future. It was so much fun just listening to her beautiful voice. We ended up going to Doc's diner and I had a nice meal. Kelley had already eaten a little while before. After that we headed back to the house and tried to have a marathon with Lord of the Rings. Let's put it this way, I lasted about and hour and a half. Kelley finished the first one and I left afterwards. I am never doing another movie marathon unless I have had a full nights rest.

As for the wedding plan, we are going to the court house to get our marriage licenses today.
Kelley is also getting fitted for her dress. She said I couldn't come, I have no clue why. Anyways besides that, nothing much else. I can not wait until we are fully one. God has definitely had his hand in our relationship from the very beginning. Please pray that God will make the days leading up to the wedding fun and exciting.

    I know this is sort of different but go with me. I didn't have time to update for yesterday so I am posting and pretending it was yesterday. Brad and I finished up our 30 hour famine weekend. After playing for the adult service and having dinner with Brad's brother's family, we said our goodbyes and were off. On the way home, I caught up on some more homework. BTW, all men need to read, If Only He Knew by Gary Smalley. The information in this book has challenged me in many times while reading it. I am learning more and more that the way I see Kelley act is a direct result of how I am responding to her. I knew this as head knowledge but it is know becoming heart knowledge. So on the way home, Brad listened while I read chapters 5 and 6 of the book. Reading this book gives me such a desire to learn how to love and honor Kelley more and more each and every day!

    After Brad and I got back, Kelley and I started to head home. We needed to pick up a few things so we went to my parents house, stayed for a while and then left. On the way home, I was trying to figure out why I was not wanting to talk or do anything. Then God showed me what was happening. Kelley and I had run ourselves to the bone with things to do seperately instead of together. This was mainly in the ministering part of our relationship. Also, we hadn't been taking a day out of the week to completely rest. So I decided after talking with Kelley to make it a point to start doing ministry that we can do completely together. We also decided to make one of our days off (Tuesday) a complete day of rest. Please pray that God will give us a ministry that we can do together in everyway. Know for today...it has only just begun.

I know it's almost 41 days until the wedding but I wanted to make sure this thing is updated. I hate it when people start blogs and never update them. It's 11:08 PM and I am sitting in the hotel room with my friend Brad Lang sleeping in the other bed. I bet he is wishing I would turn off the computer and go to bed. I just got done with great phone call from Kelley. Everyday we get closer and closer to the wedding, God teaches me more about loving and honoring her.

I started reading our wedding counseling book on the way to Maryland. I would have to say it was one of the most encouraging and discouraging books I have ever read. What I read made feel like I hadn't been doing enough for Kelley at the same time it encouraged me to do more. The author shared many stories about times when he put people he wanted to minister too or hangout with over his wife. After reading that, I was convicted at how much I have done that to Kelley. I was very encouraged to let her know that I love her and I honor her as a person. She is the person I want to be with. There are things that get in the way from time to time but laying all feelings and circumstances aside, I want to be with her the most. Please pray that I will always desire to know how to let Kelley feel that she is loved and honored is all fullness. 42 more days!!!!! almost 41...More tomorrow

Well we are one day closer to the big day. This morning I got to ride with Kelley to Roanoke. It was to much fun. Usually she drops me off at work but today I got to spend the entire morning with her. The reason I didn't go into work today is because I am going with my friend, Brad Lang, to Maryland. We are playing at his brother's church this weekend. I am going to miss Kelley this so much.

As for wedding stuff, Kelley is getting a few adjustments for her dress done and I am still needing to call in the measurements for the groomsmen. As we are getting closer, our time to complete our marriage counseling is getting shorter. We are trying to get through the first 6 lessons but it has been hard with our busy schedules. Pray that God will give us time and that we will make time to accomplish everything.

The really amazing thing about Kelley and I's relationship is that everyday we learn something new about each other. This morning our lessons started in Proverbs 27:14 "If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse". Let's just say I am the cheerful one in the morning. We were given the advice of getting a dog so I could talk to the dog until Kelley is open and awake. We will see how it will work in the future. We had already thought this through but we hadn't fully experienced it. It was a great learning experience this morning for this situation. Please pray that God will help us look at every new thing we encounter as a way to grow together.

First Post

Here is the start to the Tuck Family Blog. I know that Kelley and I aren't married yet but I thought I'd start early on everything coming up. In the hustle and bustle of getting things ready for the wedding it feels like we have no time left. Each day brings us a little closer to the day were we will be one. Kelley is getting her dress sized while I am trying to get all of my grooms men fitted for their tux's. This is harder than it sounds. Getting 9 guys to go and get themselves measured is a tough thing to do. I know that they will pull through in the end, I just hope it doesn't take until June 5th to do so.

On another note, Kelley did the coolest thing ever to prepare for the wedding. She filled my room with red, black, and white balloons. There were 54 balloons in all, one for each day until we get married. She even put a note inside each one explaining why she loves and admires me. When I opened my door and saw this, my jaw dropped to the floor. It was so amazing and sweet!

As of now, we are 44 days until the wedding. I am going to try to update this everyday until then.

Keeping you posted,
Michael Tuck
