I've done the multiple jobs thing, it's definitely very stressful. Hopefully you don't have to do it too long as it definitely wears you down.
Definitely promising that she wants to be around and mentioned Valentine's Day! That definitely sounds nice.
It is very positive that she is looking to get some independence from her family, get out on her own again. She may be fishing for an offer from you, or she may really need that independence still (and to some extent more since she is living with a friend and getting a lil emotional distance from her family). My geography down there is sketchy, would that make her closer to you? How far a drive would it be? (I'm thinking it might be more feasible to move more towards dating w/ her not worrying about family driving by - although at some point she does need to just deal with telling them to let her live her life lol).
