Popping the Question

 Hello, hello, hello!  I mentioned that there was exciting news, no clowning around so..... here 'tis - the latest.

I'm bursting with happiness and want to share my unexpected joy........ It is with great surprise that I report to you that Gary Suter (pronounced "suitor") asked me to marry him and I said, "YES!"

We're busy planning a tiny wedding and a very small reception on Saturday, September 19, 2020.  

 

God is sooo good to have brought us together.  This man is so solid, so thoughtful, so loving, and so dependable.  I just love him to pieces. .........AND - he's taller than me!  We grew up 6 miles apart and went to the same high school but we didn't know each other

We've been together 4 years and he's been thinking about marriage for 2 years..... even discussed with Krista, his 44 year old daughter, 2 years ago and she gave her blessing.

I went ahead with my plans to buy an apartment at a nearby Retirement Community.   Taking care of a house and 3 acres is just too much to deal with - I'm an ole broad now!!

It will take 3 months to renovate the apartment.   The building is almost 20 years old so I'll get to choose my flooring and wall colors..... PLUS, I choose my cabinets, countertops, showers, vanity, closet set up, etc.    The unit is very small but how much do we need?  Gary will keep his house because his tax office is there.

Will this be my new official name?  Mary Elizabeth May Barrows Angelil Suter ?  We've discussed that and it's easy on cruises to just say we're Gary and Mary.  But, we both like the MaryMay Suter name the best.

p.s.  Don't know what to call the "Angelil Adventures" blog now.  If you have any ideas, please let me know.
