Sonya - Hi from MD



After high school I went to Millersville University for four years where I received a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Statistics. As a test run for the interviewing process, I went to a recruiting session with the Census Bureau, and low and beyold, was offered a job. I can't believe I have been working here for over 15 years....

A few days after September 11th, I purchased my son who was 10 months old at the time. His name is Neon and I love him too death ... most of the time. He does speak a few phrases and believe it or not, I have him potty trained!!

I finally met my fiance - believe it or not - through a personal ad. I'm sure most of you are saying that you can't fathom a man that could put up with me but miracles can happen. I have no plans on doing the parenting thing but I have to say your pictures and comments sometimes makes me think twice but then it passes.

I am still into running - not as serious - and have stopped scuba diving due to a freak diving accident where I received the "bends". That was years ago and most would say I lead a pretty boring life. I am currently helping my fiance go to college and let me tell you the costs are killing me!!! For those of you who do have children, save!!!!

See you at the reunion!!

Hi Sonya, good to hear from you. I'm glad things are going well for you and congratulation on your engagement! Hopefully we will see you at the 20th reunion.

Jamie said...

Hi Sonya! You'll get used to this blogging thing and probably get addicted like the rest of us:o) I second the congratulations on your engagement! Glad to hear all is well!

Vicky said...

Hi Sonya! I was worried you were going to be a drive by poster there for a minute. Glad to see you back. Congratulations on your engagement!

Hey Sonya
Glad to hear that you are doing well. Welcome back to Bloggervision.

Sonya C said...

I went to Schecker for K, 1 and 2, then moved away for 3 and 4, then came home to Lincoln for 5 and the rest is history.

I would love to see more pictures of everyone and I will try to get one of me.

Dan - I will let you know when I am coming home.

Sonya--"Boring" is a relative term. So I second Matt's comment about the scuba diving incident. Thrilled to hear from you (again)!

andrea said...

hey sonya....i agree with mullen, boring is all relative....i think you sound great! congrats on getting married...when is the big day? i also wondered when you'd check in again....glad to see you are still around.

Sonya C said...

No date has been set - I'm still suprised I'm engaged.

Hello Sonya, Great to hear from you. It's always nice to hear from the South Catty Crew. I thought of you the last time I drove thru Bethlehem Road. What memories !!!

mathbach said...

Sonya - picture!

tmmullen said...

SC--I'm not very bright, so I need clarification:

Are you still surprised you're engaged because it just happened?

Or are you surprised you're still engaged because it's been a long one?

LongE said...

Good to hear from you Sonya. Where is Maryland are you? Anywhere near Baltimore?

Sonya C said...

I have been engaged since July of last year and I am still surprised that someone would marry me!!!!

I live in Hughesville which is an hour south-west of Washington D.C. and 1 1/2 hours south of Baltimore.

I have hear from Dan and from Rob but I don't see their bios!!! Let's get writing men.

tmmullen said...

SC--Thanks for the clarification. I was in the same boat three years ago. I found someone who could stand to be with me for more than 15 minutes straight - so I hung on like grim death!

LongE said...

which is not far off I might add.

Unknown said...

Ouch........

kristen said...

Unknown said...

Hey Kristen
Still here. You're right. Can't get it either....Matt!! What's goin' on?
How did people plan reunions before blogging?

kristen said...

kristen said...

tmmullen said...

Long-e--Nice catch. I set 'em up and you knock 'em down...

K&K--That's me. I'm updating it. I need to check one more thing and then it will be back up. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Jeff P said...

Sonya,

I was wondering where you disappeared to...it ends up you're in the same place! How the hell 'ya doing???

Jeff

Sonya C said...

Jeff,

I'm doing pretty well. Your kids are adorable!!! When do we get to see the picture of your wife and you?

Jeff P said...

Sonya,

Those pictures are already all over the internet....wait - I'll see if I can find a clean one to post (I've heard Mr. Abbott is policing the site!). I still don't see yours???? You first - You show me yours and I'll show you mine!

Jeff

Sonya C said...

I need to take a picture because I haven't had one taken in a while.

Jeff P said...

Well get out that Digital camara and have the Fiancee' snap off a pic and post it! (No lingerie please....this is a reputable site).

tmmullen said...

Jeff--I don't know about that. Have you read the archives yet?

Sonya C said...

Jeff,

Why would I want to break a perfectly good camera?

Jeff P said...

Camera's are cheap now adays - throwaways! Laughs are priceless....humor us! Besides -we're all 20 years older now...

Sonya C said...

Wendy,

I know. I wish I had a scanner because I think I saw a picture of one of my pool parties the other week.

Who is Richard Scott Oliver??? I have no idea about the trash can either.

I really like talking to you. You had me laughing so hard last night. I hope your day goes well.

Jeff P said...

Wendy,

Good to see you on the Blog. The Trash can is in the event you decide you want to delete your comment (only appears on the posts you authored).
Do you remember hanging out at the myles (Sp?) store on 6th street near the N. Catty playground with Schubert? Long time ago....

Jeff

Sonya, send me the pictures and I'll post them for you!!!

Tracy said...

Sonny, i just read where you posted that you called and talked to Michael (my husband)....this is the first i heard of it.....try again sometime....i am usually home in the afternoons (kids nap time)
