But I thank God it was daylight & our 11 year old grandaughter who was there, my husband & I all made it safely. We also did NOT have renters insurance. I made myself a promise we would have renters insurance at our next house, as well as a fire extinguishor & our smoke detectors would be replace. And I kept that promise. We had all 3 before we stayed the first night here. It can happen to anyone folks. Have what you need to relieve some of the burden. We were fortunate in that family, our church family, friends & our community furnished our new house. I'm glad your family all made it out safely. Take care.<br /><br />TriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-79620071669378638822012-06-04T10:23:28.445-04:002012-06-04T10:23:28.445-04:00OH MY!

You and your husband and pups!<br />I am with Flynn, soooo very glad that B is a superhero! <br /><br />That is so scary. Do not beat your self up about the renter insurance. My friends had it when their apartment caught fire and it didn't help much. <br />So happy your friends and family are helping! Clean place to stay and all the cleaning, smoke does a lot of damage. <br /><br />Xx<br />CallieCallie Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842182285936262315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-75595159717080612882012-06-04T08:04:24.908-04:002012-06-04T08:04:24.908-04:00so sorry to read about the fire.

I'm glad you and your husband and the doggies are safe and sound - and that you might be able to continue living in your apartment. I'm sorry about your wedding gifts; it must be sad even if they're just things. But you have your memories and the photos from your wedding day, at least. I hope life gets back to normal for you quite soon.

I know how this feels like because when I was 21 I was at home by myself and there was an electrical shock on the plug were the Christmas tree lights were plugged in. The tree caught on fire in seconds, then the living room rug, even a glass door exploded. It was terrible! We spent the whole holidays cleaning and getting rid of the black smoke (which it even got into drawers and closets on the second level of our apartment!)<br />Even though this is terrible, you were lucky to be in the most positive scenario.
