I think this is all very natural, and part of the T/patient bonding and trusting process. You've found a way to bond with her, but you recognize that you hold back emotionally. Maybe this is the next step to moving further into your therapy. It sounds like you're doing that with your voice mails and wanting to test her.
I don't see any boundary crossings, just a patient and a T who have found a way to relate so that you can trust her and move forward.
We all have different ways of relating to our T. Having a T who likes to read what I like to read (fiction, mostly) has helped bring us together. It makes me respect her more.
good luck,
