Ohhhhhhh...the fun Marcia, Jessica and I have on our photo trips...We are LONG overdue for a trip and headed to the coast and then up to San Francisco for a sunset cruise under the golden gate bridge on Saturday....
Let me start out explaining who these fabulous people are....
First there is Marcia...we met 14 years ago when I started working at Baker Cadra...I was 19...WOWZERS time has flown by.
She has an amazing husband and three incredible children...who she is immensely proud of. About 3-4 years ago we started going on photo trips. We both realized that we had a love for photography and had so much fun hanging out.
We got our nickname (SRW) from an ex of mine...we were trespassing (shhhhhh...don't tell) to take some pictures when my ex called, when we told him what we were up to...he said, "You guys are like Secret Rangers." Thus the nickname "Secret Ranger Women" (SRW)
We have been to so many amazing places and have seen some incredible things...She has been an amazing friend to me. Listens to me when I am having a "moment", accepts me for who I am...good and bad...and never judges me for the decisions...again good and bad....that I make. She brings out my inner child and I can just be ME when we are together! What else could you ask for?!?!?!
This is Jessica!!!!!
Jessica and I met about 13 years ago at Baker Cadra as well. Even though she no longer works with us...we stayed close friends. She is married to Ryan...and I am lucky to call him my friend too....and she has an amazing son Hunter who has been friends with Gabe since FOREVER~Jess and I love to golf together...ok ok...so we don't golf as much as drive the cart in the woods...drink a few and laugh at ourselves :) We have soooo many fun memories together I can't even begin to tell them all. Hey Jess....remember the Monterey Plaza hotel and removing all the "do not disturb" signs....or how about the drunk $100 breakfast room service bill. That's only the beginning to many many fun times that we have shared! She is truly a person that will give you the shirt off her back if you need it...always knows how to cheer me up and make me feel better after something tragic happens. She has a comforting spirit and I count myself blessed to have her as a friend!

Jess started going on trips with us last year....she went once and was hooked. LOL. In order to survive one of our photo trips you have to love to sing loud in the car...dance like no one is looking and talk in all kinds of accents. We spend our days taking pictures, eating junk food and laughing!!!!! It's the best therapy I could ever have....the three of us...seeing the most beautiful places in the world, letting loose and having fun!
I really do believe that life is short, we don't know how long we have on this earth and every moment should be used to it's fullest. I want to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way...want to share my greatest memories with the people that I love and love me. I won't live my life as a passenger...I want to drive my way through life...no regrets...only moments to learn from. No moments wasted...only moments enjoyed.
So....Saturday can't come soon enough....Thank you Marcia and Jessica for being awesome friends to me and creating all the memories we have together! Love you both!!!!!!!
