ELLEN

I.love.the.Ellen.show
Plain and simple. 

I think she is hilarious, and for the longest time, it was the only thing that made me smile or laugh after the accident. 
I DVR it, so Ledge and I get a daily dose of Ellen.

A couple of weeks ago, while playing my brother-in-law Kash, in the game Draw Something, (game on the ipad and iphone), I drew this picture of Ellen.
 

Awesome drawing skills right?
Well, it ended up here.
4/12/12

(Not the best pic, just home from Zumba)

Yes, I was overly excited.

While I was drawing it, I noticed Ellen's Facebook status said to upload some drawings from the "Draw Something" app. So I did.

 Attending her show is definitely on my bucket list, so hopefully this won't be my only appearance on the show. Let's hope one day you see me dancing in her audience, preferably on one of the 12 days of Christmas giveaways episodes. :)

    This is so funny. Going to Ellen is on my wish list too! I always wanted to go for my 30th birthday, which is this year, but I don't think that is happening.

    If I didn't go for the 12 days of Christmas, I would want to go for the Mother's Day show...

    I hope you get there! It would be a blast!

    I totally agree with Brittany! It would be so inspiring to so many women that had lost a child!

    I love watching Ellen. She makes me smile too. I don't work on Fridays so I have to watch her show on that day of the week Friday. I should really record it so I can watch all of them. I love her enthusiasm for life and she always manages to give back to people who really need and appreciate the things she does for them. I agree....I think she should invite you and all your blog friends (as I count myself) to her show. Have a wonderful Spring day with your little boy (oh my gosh - he is becoming a little boy and not a so much a baby any more!!)

    hey Ashley,
    I am a stranger although I did send in a case of disposable cameras way back when you were doing the hospital bags. Anyway I wanted to give you a high five for coming so far in your life's journey and finally finding some happiness through the trial! You go girl and let me tell you I will be dancing right along with you when you get to Ellen's show. (and I can't dance but I will be so happy for you I might just be able to do a jig or two) Love Donna from Massachusetts

    Yay for getting your picture on the show!! That's awesome!!!

    I love Ellen too! Sounds like a lot of people who follow your blog like her too. :) I just entered a contest to win a new car on her show (shh ;). Cross your fingers for me! And I'll cross mine for you to get on her show! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get to go during 12 days of Christmas... *sigh* maybe someday. :)

    Great job!

    I feel the same way about Ellen. It also lifted me up after Nate died. I can honestly say that she was part of the reason that I was able to get out from under the dark clouds that I was living in for months...years.

    I've emailed for tickets so many times but have never gotten them. I think that she should do 1 audience that's full of mommies and daddies that have had to endure the tragedy of losing a child. That would be SO AMAZING for all of us to be able to come together and meet each other, dance together and laugh together.

    It's probably just a dream...but some dreams do come true so I'm hangin' onto this one.

    Hugs,
    Trisha

    I'm going to write Ellen and tell her to put you on her show. You deserve it more than anyone ever! I hope she goes to your blog and sees how amazing you are and decides to invite you to her show.

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
