We GRADUATED!!!

Well we did it! Me and Ellen graduated from Sac State on Saturday, May 25!! That morning I made a new Ellen head so she would be fresh and clean for our big day, but what I didn't realize was that our friends at Office Depot made her about four inches wider than I usually get....and well... Now she is bigger than ever! It was funny carrying around a big Ellen head, but now it might get awkward carrying this GIGANTIC Ellen head! So if you don't mind, continue reading the blog and sharing it with your friends so that the Real Ellen sees it soon!! Thanks again to all of you who read my blog! I have had a boom in viewers in the last few days and I sincerely appreciate all of your support and help through my journey to be a guest on the Ellen show.  This morning I caught up on all of her latest episodes, and because I have been so busy getting ready to go to Japan and graduating college...it's been a couple weeks.  So I enjoyed about four hours of her show which was wonderful! So anyways....onto Graduation!

On my last day of college, my friend Megan had a going away party because she is now in a Master's program in SoCal! It was a lot of fun! Ellen had a good time laying out in her bikini!

Megan and Ellen chilaxin! 

Justin and Ellen!

A few days later was my graduation day and we had a small lunch with my family and a few close friends! It was great seeing my family and my wonderful friends who came to be with me on our big day! Before the lunch, I had to take a picture in all of my fancy graduation gear along with my favorite underpants! I did this picture because Gluteus Mikesimus (The Official Ellen Undies Model) did a similar pose a few weeks ago when he graduated college! I also wanted to include my cap that I decorated with my rainbow apple on it to stand up for equality and love in the world! 

 Finally the guests showed up for the lunch we had at the house before the big ceremony! Me and Ellen played around in the gown before grabbing some lunch and mingling.

Look at the size of that head!! If I don't get on the show now, I don't know what it'll take! :)

I just had to throw this one in here because it's so darn cute! 

After we ate and celebrated, we hopped in the cars and headed to the arena for the ceremony. When I arrived, my friend Rachel surprised me and Ellen which made our day! Also, our friend Yvette brought her cap and gown for Ellen to wear so she wouldn't feel left out! 

Our big day!!

Tracy, Rachel, Me, Ellen, Yvette! The 5 stooges!! 

Once we got into the basement of the Arena for preparation, Ellen was getting shout-outs from everyone and they all wanted to take a picture with her! It was great to bring joy to so many people on our big day!!

A few Sac Staters and Ellen!

My fellow Green Group Camp A alum, Katelen with me and Ellen!

Michelle, Ellen and me are so excited!!

Congrats Laura!! 

Shelby, Ellen, Me and Michelle!! 

Unfortunately, right before me and Ellen made it out to the Arena floor, some lady came swooping in like the Queen of Sheeba and snatched Ellen from me because there are "no signs allowed"!! Well, I didn't just let her have Ellen, I put up a little fight and said, "She's a HUMAN BEING, A REAL PERSON" ...Clearly she didn't understand, so I let it go for the time being.  The lady informed me that she would be safe in the back, but that didn't stop me.  I got up in the middle of the ceremony to go back and ask the lady if I could just have Ellen back to walk across the stage, but she repeatedly told me no. I asked if she could give her to my family so that I wouldn't lose her, and luckily she did that. So, Ellen couldn't walk across the stage with me, even though she was dressed for the occasion, but  she was still there! 

Ellen is my BIGGEST fan! 

Julena and Ellen! 

After the ceremony, Ellen was very tired, so we took her back home and she relaxed for the evening while a bunch of us went out to the club! 

I hope you enjoyed this blog. I know I enjoyed the adventures we had on our big day! Thanks again to everyone who reads the blog and shares it! It means so much to me! Hopefully I will be able to thank you all from that big red comfy chair in L.A!

The last few weeks...Oh the places we've been!

First off, I want to apologize because I haven't posted a blog for quite some time now.  Ellen and I have been extremely busy and I have been trying to finish school! I am writing this blog at 7am before I get up and get ready for my college graduation.  You'll be happy to know that Ellen will be walking the stage with me as I receive my Bachelor's Degree!! (I'll post the blog on Sunday or Monday)

Alright onto the good stuff! 

A few weeks ago, Ellen was just minding her own business, and then BOOM! she got hit.  Luckily, Ellen had minor injuries; my car on the other hand had to go in to get fixed up!

 Ellen participated in the last day of Camp Adventure training in full uniform! 

 We met some political people at school! They loved Ellen so much that they wanted her to represent their campaign! 

 A few days later, me and Ellen got our car back! We were so happy (as you can see from our big smiles)

 

One night, Ellen decided to join me at Toby Kieth's Bar and Grill where we met some more fans of hers.

Me and Ellen enjoyed a delicious beverage from a Red Solo Cup!

We also took a trip up to my grandparent's house.  Jada kept Ellen company in the back seat!

I caught my grandpa in the act of being an Ellen fan! Who can resist those glasses!?

 Later in the week, my last days as a server were coming to an end, so Ellen made an appearance at the bar and took a picture with some of her biggest fans! 

Some more patrons at the bar couldn't resist that smile, so they took a picture with her too!! 

Ellen is keeping an eye on the kitchen...along with Mandy! (can you see her?)

And Ellen's biggest fan that I've ever met is this guy! Tim! All he does at work is talk about Ellen and how cool I am for carrying her around! :) 

On my last night as a server, Ellen and I met up with a few of my roommates for country night! We played pool for a little bit before taking pictures with all the fans!

Either Ellen loves cowboys or cowboys love Ellen...I don't mind either way! 

 This guy decided to give Ellen a big wet one....

 

 Megan finally got a picture with Ellen! 

It was this guy's birthday, and it may not look like it, but he was very happy that Ellen could celebrate with him. 

Finally, Ellen did what she does best and got up on stage to make everyone's night!! 

Alright we're coming to the end here! On Monday, I decided to kick off my last week of undergraduate school with two fun filled nights at Golf and Guitars.  It was a charity event at Haggin Oaks Golf Club in Sacramento and there were a ton of country music acts that I LOVE!!! Ellen had such a great time dancing and meeting lots of fans...and drinking beer!! 

And so it begins!!!

Ellen and her second beer with another huge fan!!

Kisses for Ellen!

The ladies love Ellen!

Look how little the stage looks next to Ellen's big smile!

 We met the Hulk Hogan look alike!! He was very nice...just two celebs kicking back to some country music!

Ellen got sneeky and hopped into my boot! 

Hey....that looks like Joe Nichols!!!

Ellen stole this man's homemade cowboy hat!

I think this guy thought she was a football and he was Colin Kaepernick or something! 

Ellen got a little drunk and had to hang out in the ambulance for a minute!!

After a day of recovery, we were at it again for day 2 of the concert! We continued dancing, drinking, and meeting fans! 

Ellen helped block the road so we could all have a clear view of the stage and lots of room to dance!

 Cowboy Kisses! 

I think those are their happy faces!

Ellen got so tired from dancing, she had to sit down for a minute!

Our new friends for the evening!

 And finally.....We met Joe Nichols on the first night! He even signed the back of Ellen's head! And yes...he is wearing the Ellen sunglasses! He was a very nice guy, but we learned that tequila doesn't make Ellen's clothes come off! 

And on the second night!!! We met Mr. Montgomery from Montgomery Gentry! He was also very excited to meet Ellen (I think his smile is bigger than hers).  He was very nice, but he said where he comes from, there's no giant Ellen heads that hang around!  

Well...that wraps it up for now! I'm sorry for the delay in posting all of the places we've been! Right now I've got to go prepare for the graduation festivities for me and Ellen! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed going through me and Ellen's adventures as much as I love going on them.  I also hope that you'll share this blog with your friends so that the Real Ellen DeGeneres will see it, but if you don't want to do it for that reason, just share it so that you can bring a smile to someone's face!
