Creative Intro

Our first retreat for the women's program was this weekend  It was a good time of fellowship and learning (more on that later).  In between study sessions we did "creative intros."  Mine is below.  It was written at midnight so it's a bit rough.  The other girls did everything from slideshows, to quizzes, to making cake batter.

My name is Brittanie and Lassiter and Leigh
I’ve lived at home with my family

Five brothers have I, and I think you’ll agree
They’re a handsome lot for you to see

My family is dearest, most precious to me
I’ll fight for them ardently with all that I be

To friends I am faithful and loyal and true
But time it may take before I call you

It’s homeschooled I was for all of my life
Until, of course, I tried college life

Accountant I am and tennis coach too
And writer, and sister, and daughter—woohoo!

Of fictional people in literature
Sam Gamgee’s my favorite, of that you be sure

I can’t stand spiders, small or great
(My brothers are awesome at sealing their fates!)

I swim like a rock—straight down to the deep
I sleep like one too—won’t hear a peep

I love lasagna and pumpkin pie
And cake that is carrot and tea that is chai

I’ve danced and I’ve sung, though not very much
Enough to know how hard can be such

I’ve written a book for the teens and the tweens
‘Bout swords made of light and a king there unseen

I’m a little bit crazy, a little bit sane
I sometimes go by an Elvish name

And now at last I am come to the end
Of all the words I can think to pen

So thank you my ladies for hearing my rhyme
May God’s blessings follow throughout all of time
