Ellen and our dad, Jon Petersen, danced to the bedtime song he sang to all his kids growing up, "Today," made famous by John Denver.

Ellen began dating Michael Haygood in 2016 after meeting at The Haygoods show and finding common ground over their love of aviation, music, and faith. They married on January 11th, 2020.

►LYRICS - Today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, in today

Well I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, in today

I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, in today

Gone forever is yesterday
And I don't believe in tomorrow
I used to dream at a rainbow's end
But it only brought me sorrow

Gone forever is yesterday
(Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine)

And I don't believe in tomorrow
(I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine)

I used to dream at a rainbow's end
(A million tomorrows shall all pass away)

But it only brought me sorrow
(Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, in today)
