I miss you guys!

Hey everyone, I know there's a lot of people reading this going, "Who the heck is this?" Quick intro - I'm Foxy Rei; started poling March of '09, was at it for several months and active here, then hit a rocky spot in my life and haven't been on the pole or the forums since. 🙁 For everyone that does know me, I've really missed everyone and missed poling. My pole stayed in its place in my bedroom this entire time glaring at me every time I walked by it (Ok, maybe not really, but I was feeling guilty). Stress at work caused me to quit my job and then turned into even more stress everywhere else in my life. Between having a 2 year-old, financial problems (from the economy and the job situation), and the added tension making more fights pop up with my husband and I, I kinda hit a depressed streak. But things are starting to look up (a little). I got a job working as a substitute teacher - hours are random, but it's income. I'm trying to pull myself up out of the emotional rut I put myself in the last few months. And with the new year here, I made a resolution to get back on the pole. 🥂 I was poking around YouTube and ran across Veena's videos, including the one of the Christmas Pole Jam. I was so heartbroken that I missed it - I remember everyone talking about doing one for months. And in DC, too! I live in upstate NY, I could've come! I'm SO going if there's another one. 😜 I literally cried watching the videos. So I thought I'd drop by and leave a quick note... I'm going to try to stop in here more often, it's not like I don't have the time or anything. Thanks everyone!
