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!

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!!

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!
