A New Blog!

So, I haven't blogged in a bit. Mostly cause I went on a trip Thursday till Tuesday. Also cause I haven't had a whole lot I feel like posting on the internet for whomever to read. Stephanie wants me to blog about Mcflurries, but I've never had one. Now I'm telling her to move to Utah this summer.

Anywho, I had a really great trip. Here's more info then most of you pry care about what I did.

Tuesday spent the day in Salt Lake at Temple Square and such. I walked up to the park where Brigham Young is buried but the gate was locked shut. That's quite the climb up the hill (especially since I didn't know exactly where I was going and had to roam a bit), so not being able to get in was disappointing. I did go with my friend Brian to see the Tabernacle Choir's rehearsal and really enjoyed that.

Saturday I went to lunch with an old companion and his fiance (Elder Wong. Read a previous blog). It was so much fun. We went to a Chinese Restaurant ("What made you pick this place Gleason??"). Every time I'm around him I just laugh pretty much the whole time. He's so funny.

Sunday it snowed a lot and I went to Ian's ward and then had dinner at a friend of my mom's. A good day. He gave me and JJ a copy of the new MoTab CD (which is awesome by the way!) cause he's in the choir. Monday I went and watched frisbee take place, then went to Denny's with Justin and Jennifer. I think one of my favorite parts of the weekend was kicking it with those 2. Me and JJ ate at J-Dogs That night I went with Brian to see my mission President. He's one of those people that just makes you feel good being around him.

Tuesday I went to Lunch with JJ and Carly, then to the airport. My flight was 2 hours delayed, so I spent a good amount of time getting to know the B terminal in Salt Lake.

Now I have a really soar throat thing going on. It's not like a normal soar throat, just the back of my throat. Either its all dry and irritated from the dry air/plane, or I think something's wrong with my tonsils. But who wants to go to a doctor complaining about something you don't even know how to explain ("well It SEEMS... but I'm no doctor"). So here's hoping it just magically gets better.

During my trip I spent a lot of time reading President Bush's book. Now, I've been a fan of the former President, but who expected a book by him to be that engaging? I didn't. But it is.

So, there's all about my trip. I'm going to bed. Here's some of the lyrics to my favorite song on that CD though.

Oh when shall I see Jesus, And reign with Him above,
And shall hear the trumpet sound in the morning?
And from the flowing fountain Drink everlasting love,
And shall hear the trumpet sound in the morning?

But now I am a soldier, My Captain's gone before;
And I hear the trumpet sound in that morning
He's given me my orders, And bids me ne'er give o'er;
Til I hear the Trumpet sount in the Morning.

When shall I be delivered From this vain world of sin,
And shall hear the trumpet sound in the morning?
And with my blessed Jesus Drink endless pleasures in,
And shall hear the trumpet sound in the morning?

Oh Shout, With glory!
I shall mount above the skies,
When I hear the trumpet sound in the morning!
