If one looks up the word "nomad" this year, it might find the name Ensign under the definition... 

no·mad

 [noh-mad]

noun

1.

a member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place, usually seasonally and often following a traditional route or circuit according to the state of the pasturage or food supply. Otherwise known as: Ensigns

We, "Virginia Ensigns" (as we have been dubbed), have packed up our house and decided to travel around the US. Christian is away defending our inalienable rights as Americans in the Middle East. The kids and I are so proud of him for being willing to go. It is not easy for us who remain to move about while feeling as if one of the most vital parts of our little family is missing. We are thankful for Skype so that we can "talk" to him every once in a while. 


As the definition suggests, we are traveling from place to place, seeing fun things along the way and loving on those we care about. We plan to have great adventures, deep conversations about the ways of life, and moments of rest, too. I have not blogged for over a year now, but am hoping to keep a regular update on our travels so that you may enjoy as well. And of course, there will be plenty of photos!


Here are a few to get us started from this past year:

Stay tuned for more!!!

We love you all.
