ldr tips
- We both like to read inspirational and self help books. At bed time, I read a chapter (or as much as I can until she gets sleepy) to her and we discuss as we are reading how we feel about it. She says she enjoys hearing my voice and I enjoy reading to her. Also, she gets up very early on her work days and I call her to give her a nice wake up "Good morning, sweetie." to start her day and mine off right. I do that so she knows that I am thinking of her the moment I wake up in the morning. She says that she loves it, so I will keep doing it.

Skype
- Skype is a must have if you are in a long distance relationship. The video interface makes it easy to schedule dinner dates and feels must more personal than a telephone.
