Guys, I have some awesome news: I’m about to see my family a lot over the coming months. I can’t even express how excited I am! And Noodle’s clearly pumped to meet everyone, haha. (She’s actually yawning in this photo… but doesn’t she look ecstatic? Too cute for words.)
The last time I saw my family was in July, so I’m dying for some quality time with them. Next weekend, Mitch, Noodle and I are driving up to Wisconsin where my grandmother and step-grandfather have a lake house, and my parents are flying in for the weekend as well. I plan driving home with Noodle sometime in October, too. In November, my mom, Grammie and Auntie-M are coming to Chicago, and my brother and his adorable fiancé are planning on visiting a couple of weeks after that. And then Mitch, Noodle and I are headed back to the East Coast for Thanksgiving… and Christmas. Eeee!
One of my biggest fears about moving to Chicago was that I wouldn’t be able to handle being so far away from my family, but I’m realizing now that 800 miles is nothing. I can be home within a few short hours–it’s a two-hour plane ride or a 12-hour drive–and my family is more than willing to travel to me. How did I get to be so lucky?
Love you guys so much. Can’t wait to see you!
Those loafers look soooo comfy! Love them!

It’s said that dogs yawn when they are excited or happy! Noodle is just making us all aware of much she can’t wait for family fun!
Nothing is better than being with family, and yes, she does look excited – I’m sure she will love meeting everyone!
Chic on the Cheap
The color of those loafers are gorgeous. I love the pops of color you added to this outfit and how the sunglasses seem to tie everything together!
So glad that you are able to spend such precious and quality time with family. I have been a coward and can’t move more than 20 minutes away from mine…so I admire (and am jealous!) of your bravery!! Can’t wait to hear about your fun times ahead!
That is the cutest puppy! I just want to cuddle him!

Aww yay, so happy for you Kelly! I couldn’t imagine being far away from my family. It will be such a wonderful reunion for you and Noodle!
