“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” — Lao Tzu
It's complicated but our lives are still beautiful. IVF didn't turn out the way we dreamed. We are not pregnant. In some ways it's as simple as that. I don't want a big story about it. We tried. It just didn't work. Our hearts didn't change. We still want to be parents. Mike and I have had weeks together in Europe trying to will this dream into existence. We had a week with Jake Washington at home waiting while every pregnancy test was negative.

We will keep you updated and appreciate all of your love and prayers. It means everything to us. Thank you.
Mike, Suzanne and the Wanderers
