Not much, but some updates on my LDR (think I last posted around the 19th if you want some context)...
I actually showed her this thread and we did talk about some of those things previously discussed. She was happy to have the discussions, and she liked the idea that we might get some advice. So yay I guess.
We still talk quite a bit everyday, though I think we both realize how foolish it is to withhold sleep from our bodies. I got sick initially, and now she's sick. Maybe a coincidence, but I don't think the lack of sleep helped our immune systems. In addition to the frequent IMing, we're trying a short phone call everyday (long calls on the weekends), though that has been difficult. We started taking photos of ourselves everyday (again, not those photos), and I tried recording a short video to show her today (we've tried more video chatting, but the Internet on her end isn't always so good). Hoping things like that will help keep things strong, despite the distance between us. We can still "see" each other everyday, and hear each other's voice.
We both told each other about our warts. Or our family warts (which seem worse than our own, depending on how you look at it). Don't want to get too specific with private info about her, but she is Asian (and thus, certain Asian customs are the "norm"). She still lives with her parents, which isn't actually a big deal to me. But her parents seem very controlling, and that might make things difficult. For example, there will be no way she could hop on a plane to see me here in the States (unless I wanted her parents to come along, and I'd have to pretend to be a friend). She actually wants to move out, but her parents aren't keen on the idea. When she mentioned getting this one condo, her dad thought it was a great idea. For the 3 of them.

So yeah, that will make things difficult, on top of the distance between us.
I still want to pursue this though. We're tentatively planning a trip for me in a few months (assuming things are still going well then). I'll have maybe 10-11 days to spend with her. We'll use that time (and the time before that) to figure out what to do next I suppose. She will be starting an ~18 month program to help her with working abroad (or working in general) after that. I think she already has some great work experience and education, but this will help her some more if/when she tries to relocate I think. So nothing will be decided (about us) before that is over. That will give us a test of what things will be like when she's VERY busy. I'll probably take a couple more trips to see her after that, if the first trip goes well, though unfortunately the expense will make it difficult to do very often.
