Hi Reza,
thanks for the link. it is very helpful. I think there is a twist to my config. I have BGP running on both routers as well and i have set some local pref on the routers, meaning, even if i am GLBP'ing i am not actually using one link right? isn't that what the local pref config does? check out below;
