A few tips:
Write each other, a lot. Little things mean the most. Write, Angela, all the silly, vapid details become important. Tell him you love him every day.
You will both be different as the year goes by, not better or worse, just different.
Pictures. Take them, send them.
If you can, go see him...find a place you both have wanted to visit, meet him there. Coming home in the middle of a tour is hard. It seems like a good idea, but it isn't.

Werd...
Many moons ago. I worked in the sandbox..
I worked in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Kenya, UAE, etc...
To help with the pain of being separated, I sent her a plane ticket every time I had R&R.. She and I had a bunch of great vacations that really helped our states of mind..
Not much to do in the Seychelles.. but it was a nice week together..
She mentioned she had not been back it Ireland in awhile... we met and spent a week in Dublin..
This was before Skype and the internet..
