Hey, it's Grace Valentine here.

Welcome to another edition of the I'm Tired podcast.

I'm your host, Grace Valentine.

I'm an author, speaker, blogger, and most importantly, a friend.

This podcast is about finding adventure and joy in the everyday life.

I hope through these real conversations with real people,

you can feel encouraged even when you are overwhelmed and annoyed. Um, so my friend

Alyssa Veles is joining us today and she's an expert in Christian dating. I'm just

joking. But it's funny because when I met Alyssa, I was at Camp Cresbridge, Ridge Crest

summer camps, and I remember she's the kind of girl that you see and you at Camp Creschridge, Ridge, Ridgecrest Summer Camps, and I remember

she's the kind of girl that you see and you kind of get intimidated of because, frankly, like, I don't think Alyssa will care if I say this, but she has like long blonde hair. She looks like a blonde blonde blonde. You're just like, who are you? And then I saw her boyfriend at the time, which is now her husband. I think the first thing I said to you, do you remember it?

I was like, what does it feel like to be a 10 dating a 10

I think that's what I said yeah yes you don't remember it whatever I remember it no you

called us um perfect boy and perfect girl oh my gosh well then all my campers started calling you

that and I was like no she is not perfect like she has flaws like teenagers my campers are probably listening they and I was like, no, she is not perfect. Like, she has flaws.

And they were like teenagers.

My campers are probably listening.

They would be like, she's perfect, perfect girl. And I was like, no, she's not. And then I was like, you're perfect. But she's not perfect, believe it or not. But she is someone who is recently married. Right. How long has it been? We got married October 28th.

Yeah.

So basically an expert by now, right? Oh, totally.

Totally.

I know everything.
