Have you got one more birthday surprise in you, imgur?

Can you help me give her a long-distance present?

My darling wife, who introduced me to imgur, is celebrating her birthday today. But her consulting job has her on a trip in Dallas. She browses the front page pretty much every day, so I would love to surprise her with a birthday gift from me and everybody in the community while she's long distance.

Don't worry, I got her a different present (guitar lessons) so you don't like this kind of thing and want to downvote to el infierno, go ahead--I'll just pretend I never tried :)

For those who want to get to know us a little before parting with your precious +1:

About Michelle

This is Michelle. She is the most amazing woman I've ever met. Speaks 3 languages, plays classical guitar, has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, is culinary genius, etc. More than that, I love that she is addicted to the Lego Marvel video game, that she laughs at my jokes, and that she sends me pictures of dogs (from imgur, of course) if I ever have a bad day.

Incidentally, she is also a fairly private person so I'm going to mostly do photos I have of her from profile and stuff. In case you're wondering, yes, she does occasionally fully face me and smile for a picture.

Our TL;DR story

Michelle and I met when we were both in school. We were both involved with other people, but after being friends for a while, we realized we were crazy not to be together. We broke it off with our S/Os and decided to give it a shot. It clicked right away. A few weeks later, she left for study abroad. I've been distance many times before but this time, it was like a slap in the face: I knew I had to lock. her. down. as soon as I could. I'm a musician so naturally I wrote some sappy, heartsick puppy love songs for her.

The Bell Tower

She got back and things floated along blissfully again for a while. I decided to pop the question, so I took her to the top of a bell tower at a big gothic-style chapel, which was actually the site of our first date (an organ concert). I arranged with the carillonneur (look it up) to play one of my puppy songs while we were up there, and I got down on one knee. She said yes.

We got married in July, and things have been amazing ever since. Here she is longboarding with the family dog.

FP material

If you're thinking, "Wait a minute...I know that beautiful curly blonde head of hair!" you're probably right, because she's actually been on the FP before, on the above post (http://imgur.com/gallery/GzIxQ). WHen we got married, Michelle had a low opinion of video games. I've brought her around ;) We play the Arkham games together and I don't even want to tell you how many hours she's logged on lego marvel in the last two weeks.

Walking in the lawn. I'm obviously the goof in the tie. Before you say it: I'm well aware she's too good for me. Sometimes, the universe just kinda gives you an upvote, if you will.

Haughty Dog Tax

Well guys, I hope that my little effort here is worth your upvote, because I think she'd be pretty excited if she came across it on her birthday. Thanks for helping a brother out, imgur :)

FP Edit: First of all: http://imgur.com/gallery/rApxQ

BUT thank you for getting this to a place where she might actually stumble upon it! I'm really hoping she does. If not, I'll just send her a link. I'll keep y'all posted.
