Potential long distance relationship

Can I live in our house alone? Can I sleep in our bed alone? Can I get past being a worrier? 
I keep asking myself all these questions. The answer to all of these is yes. Because I don't have a choice. And at the end of the day, all that matters to me is that I have justin. He's applying for a job with the highway patrol. Which means he could be going to the police academy for 7 months. 7 months. every time I think about it I want to cry. And I think about it a lot. Especially at work because all I do is just watch people swim and I think about literally everything. 7 months is such a long time. The only thing that gets me through that is when I tell myself, "7 months is nothing when I could potentially have 60 more years with this man." And that makes me think I can get through it. 

Yesterday another great opportunity came up. He talked to someone from the sheriffs department and they are looking to hire deputies as well! And when Justin told me that I was like oh my gosh.. Go for it! He would love being a sheriffs deputy so much more than a highway patrolman. I know it. Plus he would only be at the academy for 3 months and not 7. So there's another plus! I really think he should take the sheriffs deputy job. He would love it. But it's up to him. Whatever he decides, I'm behind him all the way. This is what he has always wanted. But part of me also feels sad because as soon as he is hired at one of those jobs... Our life of same work hours, going to bed together, and having a steady schedule is over. However, our true adult life will start.
