About Me

My name is Elysa Hellermann, but people also call me Ellie,
Mrs. H, LaLa, Elle, Elle-Belle, Mrs. Ian, Ms. Elysa, Ellenore,
Mrs. Hellermann, Wednesday, and a few other nicknames.
I love God and I want to live my life to glorify Him.
He's always first in my life.
I love my incredibly wonderful and gorgeous husband,
Ian Hellermann.
June 30th, 2007, was the happiest day of my life.
I thank God every day for him.
I love to dance.
I have been dancing for 16 years.
I love my family and friends with all of my heart.
Ian and I have an adorable dog named Toby.
We've decided that he is a German Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix.
We also have two fish: Nigiri (mine) and FishFace Jenkins (Ian's).
I'm pretty conservative.
I'm pro-life.
I will never support homosexual marriage.
I have 2 tattoos.
One is a dancer (on my hip) and one is a Jesus fish (on my ankle).
I love music.
I can play the piano and oboe pretty well, the guitar not so well (but I pretend), and a little bit of violin and bassoon.
I love to sing.
I love sunrises, sunsets, and thunderstorms.
I am amazed by the ocean; I love the water, waves, and sand.
Ian and I hope to live in the Pensacola/Gulf Breeze area one day.
I really like the Harry Potter books and I am not any less of a Christian because of that, no matter what people say.
They're just great books! It is each person's own responsibility to separate fact from fiction.
I like the color green .
I love mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I really like animals, especially cats.
I will always be a Wisconsin girl.
I am Swedish, Norwegian, German, and bunch of other stuff.
I think that gerbera daisies are absolutely beautiful.
I think I have slight OCD--I have this thing about even numbers.
If you're really that curious about it, ask me.
I am a pretty random person
(just in case you didn't know that already).
If there is anything else that you'd like to know about me, just go right ahead and ask!
If you want to add or say hello to my husband (who also just happens to be a rockstar), go for it! Visit him here:
