before they left to celebrate their dating anniversary…..
Julianne had her suspicions earlier in the week but apparently we are all good liars…
she was very surprised!
We set the scene while they were gone…
Chris knew exactly what he wanted so we made it happen..
it takes a village ya’ll
most of us were looking through the upstairs windows….
