I was born in the Bronx but my parents hated living in the Bronx so they moved to Oregon when I was 6 months old. I first lived in Beaverton -- I went to West Hills Daycare and then I went to Montclair Elementary School and then Whitford. After my parents split up my mother moved to Lake Oswego and I went to Lake Oswego High School.
At which point I notice, for the first time, the huge diamond on her left ring finger. 'Oh yeah, I'm engaged,' she says, so casually I assume she's joking. 'No, I'm engaged!' she repeats. 'I haven't told anyone yet — I mean, I haven't told the world.' ... They'd been together for about a year and a half when, last February, Glusman popped the question.
