And the winner is............Mrs South Carolina!!!

Mrs South Carolina Wins!!


Congradulations Gerianne Gunter! I had the time of my life!! What an experience, one I will never forget. I have a new found respect for ALL women that compete. It is quite honestly grueling and stressful
but wonderful experience. I did not make the top 12, but all 12 women were very deserving.


This was anyones game, and we were all truly happy with the outcome.

Many of these pictures were taken before and after the top 12, hence the red dresses!



To my wonderful husband and the best "Pageant Partner" a girl could ever have. I LOVE YOU, for standing proudly by my side and always cheering me on. You will always be my king~ Lynn



















To my family, I am sooooo tired, Yes, I finally ate some food after 2 days!!! I have many more photos that I will post to all of privately.
I AM GOING TO SLEEP!!!!!!!
