Miss Arkansas 2011

This past week/weekend was the Miss Arkansas pageant! If you know me- you know my love for this particular weekend. I was blessed to be able to compete in this pageant as Miss Southwest Arkansas and Miss Ouachita Baptist University. Last year I achieved my ultimate goal and made top ten as Miss OBU! I have met some amazing girls through this program and believe in the system 110%. It has shaped and molded me into the women that I am today. I blogged durning my week there- and you can click here to see those posts!

This year competition was thick!! All of the girls were stunning and I have no idea how the judges even began to narrow everything down to just ten girls! Ouachita swept the top ten with 3 girls from our university being represented: Bethany Whitfield, Lauren English and Kristen Glover. On Saturday night, after one long pageant, Kristen Glover was finally crowned Miss Arkansas 2011! What makes this so special is the fact that she was representing Ouachita Baptist University when she won! I had the privilege to crown her in at the beginning of this year and here is a picture of that moment! :) 

 I wish Kristen nothing but the best this next year as she represents the great state of Arkansas! I know she will do a great job! Be sure to cheer her on when watching Miss America this year!! Click here to watch her interview on Today's THV Channel 11!
