She knows... right now they are engaged and he just left for South Korea for 1 year. She understands what it is like and is really having a hard time with it. I do my best to keep her occupied by working out with me and I am giving her cooking lessions. I told her I wanted to make her and her bf a quilt. She looked like she was going to cry. The only thing she asked is that she be with to help choose the fabrics. I told her no problem.
