The Song of My Life

The song "Lessons Learned" by Carrie Underwood is my theme song for college. Here are they lyrics if you haven't heard it:

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
Are all the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all,
Lessons learned.

I love this song because it says everything that I have always thought. Things happen for a reason, we get through them and hopefully if we have been able to get through it it will make us stronger and better people. Although at some points in my life I just want to shake my fist at God and say "I'm strong enough move on to someone else!" But somehow I always get through it and I think that each of the events have made me a better person. I also feel that these events have helped other people as well. One example is with working with Chrysalis I have been able to see that by going through these things I am able to help younger people learn that they can make it through anything (and hopefully some of this will rub off on my students haha).

I had a WONDERFUL anniversary with my love! We had a lazy day and watch the first two Terminator movies, ate sushi, and then watched Yes Man! All in all fabulous day! ANNNDDD he made me the SWEETEST card EVER!!! He also got me tickets to a musical! So the Anniversary will keep on going when we go see a musical! Yay!

My mom got her port put in today. (A port is something they put in your chest to pump the chemo in that way so that they don't have to stick you with a needle every time.) Everything went great and she is resting right now. The next chemo treatment is Thursday.

ALLLSSOOOO I got a call from my principal today and I have the K-3 kids!!! Which is what I wanted!!! HOORAY!!!!! VERY excited about that! ANNNDDD I am meeting with the teacher who's job I am taking (she is just moving to a different position in the school because she wants something a little less crazy haha, so that is also a bonus because then I will be able to have her for a reference all year!) tomorrow morning so that I can ask her questions and she can show me around the school and I get to see my classroom!!! This makes me really excited because then I can start researching for my classroom (since I'll get a better look at what my classroom will consist of) and I can start making decorations- which are kind of tedious so it will be good to get them done before the two weeks before school starts. I am crazy excited because now I will have a better idea of what I got myself into ;-)
