My relationship has been long distance for over a year (look at my location).
You both need to be devoted to each other. Use a phone, use it often, I talk to my lady for over an hour a day on the phone. It keeps us close, and it keeps us with each other, I would never be able to live any other way.
Letters - yes, letters, nothing is as wonderful as recieving a letter. Write it by hand, doodle on it, include little things from where you are that indicate that you are thinking of the other person. Writing is contagious in that sense, chances are that if you send a letter, you will get one back. Letters are re-readable, fantastically wonderful; they make the world go round.
Make plans to close the distance as often as you possibly can. Distance hurts, but makes being with the other person that much better.
Best of luck to you.
