11 Random Things About Ellen Loveless

1. I am competitive and don’t like to lose.  It was problematic for me to throw Connect Four games with my children when they were little.

2. Due to an extensive surgery at age 16, I have lovely titanium hardware in my jaw.  It includes: 16 screws, 2 metal plates and 2 wires.  I don’t really feel my bottom lip as a result of the surgery.  That said, if you ever see me with food on my lip while I’m eating – please try not to point and laugh or make up nicknames (no, I do not particularly care for Professor Numb Chin or any derivative of that name ). 

3. I love being a mom to Lauren & Dylan.  I praise God for choosing me to be their mother.  They are both so incredible!  I have the sweetest dog ever named Sully.  He is child #3.

4. My favorite drink is a Route 44 Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke from Sonic. 

5. My socks almost never match each other.  Additionally, if I don’t have any of mine clean, I grab Jason’s (much to his dismay).

6. I am a walking calendar savant. I can tell you both when stuff is and what day it is on.  It weirds out my co-workers just a little.  I also have the ability to remember phone numbers extremely well and can still tell you the number for Olive Garden in College Station, TX from my time in Aggieland. 

7. I love being the Elementary Director at Chase Oaks Church.

8. I got my first car for Christmas in 1988 when I was 16.  It was a 1983 blue Honda Prelude.  I would sometimes drive around with the heat blasting and sunroof open.

9. I have a degree in Speech Communications from Texas A&M.  While a student there, I met my wonderful husband Jason.  I am so thankful for the love, leadership and laughter he brings to our family. 

10. I am double jointed in my elbows.  This came in handy when I needed to give my children their sippy cups in the car when they were sitting right behind the driver’s side.  It has also come in handy when I wanted to gross my husband out.

11. I love Jesus!  I love that He loves me and wants to use me for His glory.
