Me* + a baby jogger = A Dream Come True

I've been running for most of my life... I ran in high school competitively and in college/my adult years mostly I've run for fun with an occassional 5k or 10k thrown in the mix.

I've always found it to be so rewarding. Running up the driveway after a hard day at school or the office, with a clearer mind, sweat on my brow and veins pumping hard. It relaxes me.

Today, April 12th, 2011 - 5 months post-Miller, I got to live out a dream.

As crazy as it sounds, I've ALWAYS visualized myself running behind a jogger stroller - with my baby in it. ALWAYS. I can almost guarantee that nearly EVERY mile that I have trekked, has some how, in my mind, played out this day. In college, before the days of "thinking too far ahead", I visualized it. Post college, living in an apartment, wondering if I'd ever get MARRIED, let alone have a BABY, I visualized it. And after 5 years of marriage, wondering WHEN we'd finally get pregnant, I visualized it.

Today, running down the trail with the wind in my hair, sweat on my brow, and my baby in his jogger stroller, I was reminded just how truly blessed my life is... how FULL my heart feels. God is so faithful! This dream, that at times seemed so silly, was a reality today -- MY REALITY!

Today, jogging with my sweet 5 month old, Miller Jameson Bahr, God reminded me of my dream... today it came true and I'm forever, FOREVER grateful!

God is so good!
