Mrs. Elephant's Picture
Mrs. Elephant, Dallas, TX Age and Occupation: 27, Financial Operations Analyst Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, IT Student/Store Manager Engagement Date: March 29, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: The Tribute Golf Club About Me: I'm a Philly native creating roots deep in the heart of Texas. I might be a little obsessed capturing those Kodak moments of anything and everything (mainly on vacations). I've become more of a gamer thanks to Mr. Elephant, who I met online and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. We are planning a wedding based on our favorite colors, blue and green, with a travel theme for 150 of our closest friends and family. Hopefully our long (2-year) engagement won't kill me!
About Mrs. Elephant

Who doesn’t love a juicy secret?? Well my “secrets” aren’t really deep dark secrets, more like 3 fun facts that I’ve never shared with the Hive.

1. During the summer after our sophomore year in college, MOH Navy and I studied abroad in Mexico. It was for an International Business certificate, therefore the fact that I took 3 years of Spanish in middle school and high school and retained about 2% of it did not factor into my grade. On our last night there (July 4th), one of the guys from our college and I were entered into a dance contest, during which he broke the strap of my top. I think that little “tease” is what resulted in our win. We won a case of beer and free t-shirts, which I used to cover up.

That’s me trying to hold up my top and keep dancing

2. When I moved from Philly to Texas, I jumped on the Dallas Cowboy bandwagon. It wasn’t pretty. I was wrapped up in their Super Bowl wins in ’93 and ’95. Who doesn’t want to cheer on a winner?? Thankfully, I saw the error of my ways, went back to routing on the Eagles before college and have been an avid fan ever since.

3. If you haven’t already guessed from the title, I was called to come on down on the Price is Right (just like Mrs. Deviled Egg). Mama Elephant and I headed to California for spring break my freshman year of college and my Aggie wildcat sent me down to contestant’s row.

Don’t you just love how excited I look? I don’t know what I would have done with those sleds in Texas. Sadly my bidding was not on point, and I never made it out of contestants row. I did leave with 2 shop vacs and a telephone.

Well those are my secrets. Are there any you would like to share? Are there any Price is Right fans out there??

Okay - I am SOOOO jealous you were on the Price Is Right — especially back when Bob did the show!! Drew just doesn’t quite do it for me.

I’m kind of a game show nut…Jeopardy! is my new fave.

@kelsgurl: I completely agree, I miss the Bob days.

Also love Jeopardy! Of course I enjoy the kid, teen & college shows because I can normally answer more questions ;)

@Miss Elephant: Hahaha, yep I’m usually yelling out a lot more answers during the teen tournaments, etc. than I am during the regular shows. But I love the excitement of knowing the answer to a Final Jeopardy question!

A group from my freshman dorm and I once visited the Price is Right. One of my friends was one of the 1st people called down–but he never made it on stage. And my bridesmaid’s sister actually won the showcase on a different episode!
