My Room

You might be shocked when you come into

my room.

I moved into my grandparent’s

house and they only had one

room open, the sewing room in the basement.

Despite how small the room is it still shows a lot

of my personality. The main things that will stick out are my two beds, the amount of shoes I own and how religious I am.

I know you’re dying to know why I have two beds in my room. My grandparents had an extra bed and my room was the

only place they could put it. When I moved in, I got to keep the two full size

beds in my room.

Its quiet useful; I sleep in one and the other I use to put my stuff on, instead of on the floor.

The bed I sleep on shows how much I love to sleep and

comfortable too. My bed consists of a bunch of blankets

and pillows.

Currently, the basement still feels like winter and that’s why I have a bunch

of blankets. I have a

top sheet,

heating blanket,

comforter,

and then my panda blanket.

My panda blanket is a super thick and heavy blanket my

aunt gave to me when she was in Taiwan.

Most people can’t sleep with all that weight of the blankets but I do for a logic reason. The

weight traps the heat and keeps the cold air from sneaking into an opening that I forgot to cover

up. Plus it’s the comfort of being wrapped in my many blankets. No one can find me when I have

all those blankets and I can sleep peacefully without being disturbed.

I know I will have to give up most my blankets when

summer weather comes but my pillows will always be there for me. It’s probably ridiculous the number of pillows I sleep with. I use them mostly to fill up the empty space in my bed.

The total number of pillows I sleep with are 5; two flat pillows, one back pillow, one body pillow and one squishy

beanie pillow.

The flat pillows I stack on to top of

each other. Those I actually lay my head on.

When I sleep, I lean in weird angle, half on my

side and half on my back. That’s why I call it a back pillow because it keeps me propped in my

weird angle.

My favorite pillows are my body pillow and

squishy beanie pillow. I really don’t know how

to describe the squishy beanie pillow

except the beans inside the pillow are

like in a beanie baby.

Those two pillows I hug for comfort when I sleep. My knees are

really knobby, so I use the body pillow to put between my

knobby knees.

When I’m a rich millionaire, I want a huge walk-in closet just for shoes. I love shoes! I

currently have a really small closet so it doesn’t really show I own a lot of shoes because they are all stacked up on each

other. My main selection of shoes are winter and summer.

Boots are my winter shoes. They come in different colors of black, gray, and brown. Also they come in many different styles;

fancy boots with and

without a heel

to casual and comfortable.

Perks with living in a state that

has snow, I also have

snow boots.

Summer is when I wear my favorite shoes.

Flats and flip flops are nice for everyday wear

for summer but my favorite shoes to wear are heels. I can’t wear

them in the winter for a fear of slipping on ice and getting my feet

frozen walking through snow.

My heels come in different style, sizes and colors. They range from

Sundays are mostly the days when I wear my heels.

Black are my favorite heels to own because they go with a lot of my

outfits.

4 inch stilettos.

half an inch to

You’re probably wondering why a girl that is 5’9” that works at a

hospital loves heels so much. The main reason I wear them is

because they make me look hot! When I moved here a year ago I

was single. My first Sunday in my singles ward, I wore the highest heels I own. Y’all probably think I was crazy but I have a reason for

my madness.

Being tall and loving heels that make her

extra tall can intimidate guys and I wanted to

see what guys are intimidated by me. I know that’s sounds,

bad but I want a guy to like me for who I am

and I love my heels! My madness did work and I found someone who is taller than me; even

when I’m in my 4 inch stiletto heels.

Another thing that people will notice in my room is that I show my religion. I

am Mormon. I’m not going to preach about

Mormonism, but what I have around my room

shows what we believe in.

I have a picture of Christ on my mirror with a

quote from John 14:27.

Next to the picture of Christ is a Mormon Ad. The ad shows a vase with red roses and in the middle there is a

daisy. On the top of the ad it says, “Be your

own kind of beautiful”. That ad has gotten me

through middle and high school and tells me every day I don’t need to be like the other girls but to be

myself.

For years I had this display that I put together.

a pair of small Cinderella heels

I got from a wedding reception

It consists of a wooden block

that says “Dream”,

and wooden Salt Lake temple.

I put them together to where it says

without words “My dream is to go to

the temple someday”. I love

how I did the display because it really shows how

important that dream is to me.
