Oh that is such good news. I read your posts and have felt so pained over how much time you two have spent in distance in love. That is awesome

1. We went to high school together (I graduated two years ahead of her). Her sister is my best female friend, and her brother-in-law is one of my best friends.

2. 8-9 years.

3. As far as the "relationship" label goes? Around a month now. But we've been close friends (with gaps) for eight years, and we've dated before now a couple times.

4. Around a month now.

5. We talk by phone daily and occasionally text. We also send each other funny little flirty things on Facebook. Those are fun.

6. 4.5-5 hours.

7. I'm back home every 2-3 weeks these days, and I'll be there all of Christmas Break, so relatively frequently.

8. Right now, we're making our way through The West Wing. I also take her to dinner whenever she's working 1-9.

9. I'm a physical touch person, so I tend to be pretty clingy when I haven't seen her for a while. We're also both better face-to-face talkers.

10. Absolutely.
