I expect that enough has already been said about LDR's, but
I wanted to get in my 2 cents worth.

Two of my best friends are involved in a VLDR (Very LDR).  He is in
veterinary school in Michigan, and she is in law school in
Quito, Ecuador.  They've been carrying on this relationship like this
for over 3 years, and are waiting anxiously for her to finish her
degree in a couple more years so she can come to the states to get a
Ph. D. and so they can get married.  They only get to see each other
once a year, but that is usually for about a month.  They write
constantly, and call whenever they can ($1/ minute adds up in a hurry!).
After 3+ years of 5000 miles, bad mail service, and lots of missing
each other, they are at least as in love as when they started.

I guess it all goes to show that if two people love each other
enough, not much can diminish that love.  I hope that things continue to
go well for them (they've asked me to be best man) and that mere
distance won't stop people from loving each other.
