Miss Arkansas Update: Preliminary Night 2

Yesterday evening marked the second night of preliminary competition at the Miss Arkansas pageant. It was Anna's night to debut her swimsuit and she looked fantastic! I know she's been working really hard and eating healthfully for the past few months to prepare for last night. She told me that the moment the swimsuit competition was over she wanted a slice of Sam's Club pizza (YUM) and ice cream! Haha! Don't worry Anna, when you come down next month, we'll go to Coldstone ; )

Check out the photos from last night below and see the winners, too.

All that hard work and eating right paid off! You go girl!
