Engagements Galore!

It's official, Dad and Nan Glauser are engaged. They started dating a couple of months ago and Dad finally popped the question. Nan has eight children and Dad has five so the total number of children will be thirteen.

Dad proposed to Nan by Quail Lake, he arranged for a couple of singers to be there with their sound system. He took down by the lake where a blanket and stool were set up and got down on one knee and proposed.

Nan lost her husband to cancer a couple of years ago and her and Dad met when she went into the dealership to sell her husbands truck that she had been hanging onto, started telling the salesman her story. After hearing it he told her, "You have to meet Jeff, he just went through something similar", they started talking and the rest is history.

Dad was wise and let Nan pick out her own ring but upgraded the diamond. He told me that her diamond had to be bigger than Jocee's and I's ring.
Nan has four children still living at home and Dad has three so they will have a full house together.
They haven't picked an exact date yet but they are thinking sometime in May...more details to follow.




Grandpa Schmutz


Grandpa Schmutz has also proposed to his Betty on February 14th. They have been dating for awhile and Gramps finally worked up the nerve to ask her to marry him. They have not decided on a date as of yet but they are really excited!


Betty has been having some problems with double vision (hence the eye patch that she thinks makes her look like a pirate) and wants to get rid of the patch before she gets married.



Grandpa was also wise and allowed Betty to choose her own ring. (The previous women in this family trained them well)

Wow, lots of excitement in your family. That's good that the men were wise enough to let the women choose their own ring. *sage* It's good to see they've earned some wisdom in their age. :P
