Learn more about Ellen!1. I was born and raised in Petersburg, VA.
2. I went to VCU so I could be close to my parents. I loved Richmond so much that I decided to stay here. My parents moved to Richmond 2 years ago and they live around the corner from us now.
3. I’m the youngest of 3 and the only girl. I have 2 boy first cousins that are both older than me. So you can only imagine how spoiled I was by my grandparents growing up being the youngest and the only girl.
4. My oldest brother and his family just moved within walking distance from us. I love having family close by.
5. I have 2 beautiful nieces, Alice and Sadie. Their mom is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever met and I’m so glad to finally have a sister.
6. I met my wonderful husband Tim through mutual friends in 1999. We dated for 8 years and then got married in December of 2007. He’s my best friend.
7. We had a huge traditional wedding with close to 500 guests. We had fireworks at our reception. It was an amazing day!
8. I have a very energetic 18 month old son named Trey and I couldn’t imagine life without him. He makes me smile every day.
9. Trey is named after my husband b/c I love family names. His full name is Timothy Richard Mallette III.
10. I would like to have 2 more kids. Preferably another boy and then a girl. If it was up to my husband we would stop at 2, especially if it’s a girl.
11. My birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day and my favorite color is green.
12. I love the beach!

14. He fills my stocking with my favorite chapstick every year.
15. I love reality TV.
16. I have 2 large dogs. Roxy is a very hyper yellow lab and Oreo is a laid back mixed breed. They are great with Trey and he loves them. They shed way too much and it drives me crazy.
17. I hate to vacuum.
18. I couldn’t ask for better in-laws. They are awesome grandparents to my son. Trey lights up when he sees them. They have a crib at their house and Trey spends the night with them often.

20. I like reading blogs. I’ve always wanted to start one, but I don’t think my life is interesting enough.

22. My goal was to finish the 10k without walking and I did it in a little over an hour.
23. Now I’m training for the half marathon in November. Something that I NEVER thought that I would ever do.
24. I love my running buddies! They’ve been amazing through this entire journey.
25. I joined Stroller Strides in the fall of 2009 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve met some great women and working out has helped me get back into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes.
