No mouse in this house!

Dan had ordered two computer mice, one for Kimberly and one for himself. Little did Kimberly know that her carefully repackaged box did not contain a mouse for her computer, but a beautiful ring and a sweet message asking ‘Will you marry me?’ The answer was simple — ‘YES!’ In that one moment our lives changed forever.

Following that wonderful moment was dinner and much celebrating! Geeky? Maybe, but the inside of a PC mouse box was the last place she’d have expected!
