I am glad that you are spending time together and "get to know each other" better to cement that special relationship...
Planning a future, together, now, is of imperative importance as it will impede the family from putting any more spanners in the works.
My suggestion is to buy her a small laptop and get her on broadband so that lines of communication are always open, and in the long run also cheaper.
All the best, we are rooting for you.
