The story starts about 2 weeks ago when my friend Maria sent Kerry (another friend) and myself a link to register for tickets to the show. Both Kerry and I filled out the questionnaire and sent them in online. The next day Kerry received a phone call from the Ellen Show! They told her she had been selected to be a member of the audience! They asked her if she had any friends who were also expecting for the first time and she told them about me and how I had applied too! They told her that they would send her two tickets-one for herself and for me! Later that night I received a phone call from the Ellen Show and they told me that they would be mailing my ticket to me and Kerry's ticket to her. So we were in! I recieved permission from my doctor to fly-now to figure out work...I didn't have any personal days left so my principal gave me permission to take two deduct days. So far so good. I then talked with my student teacher's supervisor to get the ok from her since I would be missing the last two days of her student teaching experience. She gave me thumbs up!
So mom and I booked our tickets to LA! Mom will not be attending the show but we are going to spend a few days on vacation together after the taping. A few days ago I received an email from the show with another survey to fill out. I had to answer 8 questions and attach a picture of myself. When I emailed everything back to the show I asked them what would happen if I didn't receive my ticket in the mail before I had to leave. They told me that all I would need to do is call them and tell them I hadn't received it and then they would email it to me. I was a little nervous about that seeing as somethings that are mailed to us take a day, others a month, and some never show up!
The taping is on Thursday, May 6 and the show airs Friday, May 7! So tune in and see if you can spot us in the audience! Below is the picture I sent in with my survey.
Maria told me about this! I am so stinkin' excited for you both! I can't wait to see what you get and hear all about it. That is the day of Joseph's surgery so I'm hoping there will be a TV in the waiting room so I can watch you guys and keep my mind off of him. So Thanks in advance for the distraction! ;) You're still lookin' good Mama!!
