I want to talk more often

I’ve (24M) been dating this girl (22F) for about two months now and we became official last weekend. I’m a army officer and she is a Vietnamese immigrant who has been in America for a little more then a year. We live about two hours apart, but we see each other every weekend on Saturday. She works seven days a week, and the army keeps my very busy but we make it work. This is both of ours first serious relationship.

When we were just dating, we only texted to establish dates. Now that we are official, I want to talk more often but I’m afraid that I’d be bothering her or come across as smothering. Our lack of communication during the week has really been getting to me recently, and I plan on talking to her about it this weekend when we see each other. I’d like some advice on this situation and how to make this conversation successful. Ask if you need more context.
