GTKY: most prized possessions
jesus4life2

I am on a super long car trip (15 hours) so I thought I would pose a fun question to read what you ladies have to say to pass the time...
Assuming all humans, pets, and important legal documents/money were safe outside the house, what are the three things in your home that you would choose to take with you in case of emergency (house fire, flood, etc). we are also assuming you have time to collect these items.
mine are:
1. love letters between my husband and I from when we were dating/cards we have given each other through our marriage.
2. a gold charm bracelet my mom made as I grew up--every year she bought me a charm for my bday relating to my "phase" (soccer, acting, etc) that year and for my 18th she gave me the bracelet to put them on.
3. a scrapbook of pictures/cards receipts, concert tickets, etc found in my dads house after he died. (he was killed in a motorcycle accident when I was pregnant in 2012.) I treasure his words and I have every single birthday card he gave me since age 5 to age 22.

Re: GTKY: most prized possessions
Photos albums and my box where I keep all my important mementos.
And if I had an extra hand, probably the chocolate and booze.
2. My blankie & teddy bear from when I was little.
3. The Hummel jewelry box from that my grandparents brought me from Germany.
@mrsgerman & jesus4life: I am so sorry you have list such important people in your lives, I am sure they are watching over you during this exciting time!
2. My bed. It's the most amazing bed in the world. This includes the mattress, blankets, and pillows.
3. Uhhhh. I'm having a hard time coming up with a third. I'll go with the TVs we JUST bought on Black Friday that cost us an arm and a leg.
2. My spanish mantilla (wedding veil). The only gift I've ever received from grandpa. He bought in Spain while tracking down our family tree with his brother.
3. Laptop (all my pictures, romantic emails from my love, etc)
2. Engagement ring if I wasn't wearing it already. If i had it on I would grab the vintage broach I wore at our wedding.
3. Hard drive/ computer since it has all of our pics on it.
I am pretty sentimental/ nostalgic about things that are passed down through generations but our families don't have any of that stuff so there is not much to save. I am hoping to start these traditions with my own stuff which is why I would grab the broach.
IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.
1. Does my dog count as a possession? Because she would be the first one out!
2.My great grandmother's diamond ring that my mom gave me when I graduated from college.
3. A box of cards, programs, ticket stubs, and pictures of memorable events that I keep.
4. Our antique china and silver that has been passed down for generations.
Sadsies, you two! My stupid iPad doesn't have flash
@jesus4life2 Holy crap! I just took a peek at your website and you have photos of MY photographer and her family on there! Are you from Pgh??
Haha so funny! The last time we had family photos done, Katie L did them (I don't want to throw her whole name out on the Internets). She's amazing! I used to teach with D before he switched jobs. What a small world!

Crazy stuff! She does do amazing work, I recommend her to everyone!
Have a safe trip! (I assume you are heading back to FL?)

Pipsqueak born 6/9/14
-my bed with all the fixings
-cellphone. Has my life on it. I would be lost.
-my perfume collection and a picture that's hanging on the wall lol.
2. My phone (has all my recent pics that haven't been loaded onto computer yet)
3. My pearl necklace (the teenage boy in me giggles every time I say that) that DH gave me for our first Christmas and that I wore at our wedding
BFP #2 9/28/13....EDD 6/7/14
My cabbage patch kid (silly but I've had her since I was 2 months old and she represents my childhod, my grandparents, etc. So many memories with that doll.
A few pictures I have with lost loved ones - my nana, pa and aunt.
My jewelry box - it is where I keep my grandmother's wedding band.
I know, that's 4, but they are all so irreplaceable.
2) DH's black belt and his black belt certificate, he worked really hard for that and it's a huge part of his life.
3) my jewelry box, my parents gave it to me when I was little one year for Xmas and it has all my nice jewelry in it that my dad and grandparents have given to me over the years.
My first name is Erin, and I used to work with her H when he worked at VHS. She'll know who I am!
1. My cell phone. It just seems practical as I would need that immediately in the case of a real emergency.
2. My wedding dress
3. The framed pictures in our house. I am counting that as just one thing since we don't have many pictures that we actually display in our home, but the ones we do are really important to us - a picture of my mother and I when I graduated college, a picture of my H's now deceased mother, a picture of H and I after I completed my first half marathon, my favorite wedding photo of hubby and I, a picture of my husband and my stepson and I at our wedding, and a picture of my H when he was enlisted in the Marine Corps.
