Sudden Disappearance: Now Back in Action
For those regulars, or anyone visiting the site in general, I must apologize…
Without forewarning, I disappeared for several weeks and now the readers deserve an explanation.
If you’ve followed my trail on this site or other financial blogs, you may have surmised that I was in the process of getting married. Well, now there’s officially a Mrs. FinEngr! 
The event came off flawlessly and many guests are still raving about the great time they had. Then after a long and relaxing honeymoon in Belize, it’s back to the real world. 
Of course, life revved up to full speed as soon as we returned. Housing move, job obligations, a technical paper deadline, and figuring out this whole marriage bit (check out Little House’s Bliss Boxes) – the blogging took a backseat. Also, not having internet yet can be a hindrance (thanks for the delay Verizon).
While I may get in trouble for admitting this, I was working behind the scenes. A few emails were sent the day of the wedding and during the honeymoon, and even my airport reading was the next book on the review list (The Corporate Lattice).
Originally planning to write a farewell post, there was simply not enough time. Right before leaving, the answers to the previous book review and interview (It’s About More Than the Money) were received. Be on the lookout, it will be posted in the next few days.
A lot has happened since my disappearance. A few more offers were made on new books, the site’s direction and eventual redesign was decided upon, possible change in business model is under consideration, and hopefully an interview with on Delivering Happiness will be forthcoming.
Other cool news includes the Yakezie site is officially up and running. Bad news is my Alexa ranking suffered dramatically by jumping ship without telling anyone. The site has dropped significantly from its high around around 90k. But, the site did get approved for NewsTex which is good. Engineer Your Finances is officially syndicated.
So to close, thanks to all those who continue to read and support the site. Sorry again for the mysterious disappearance, but I’m looking forward to continue providing you the readers with quality, entertaining, and informative writings.
Warmest Regards,
FinEngr
Wow! Welcome back and congrats! There’s a lot of catching up to do!
@ FS:
Thanks, I’m using the Friday night to do just that!
Congrats on the new stage in life!
@ Kevin:
Thanks. Pretty crazy – “new stage”…
Yes, wow! Sounds like you need an assistant. Congratulations on the wedding.
@Carol:
Ha… Hopefully I’ll be caught up soon!
Glad to hear your back. Congratulations on your marriage and the syndicate! Thanks also for mentioning my Bliss Box.
@ Little House:
Not a problem, maybe you can send me a trial R&D package when its ready
Congrats on the marriage, does your wife know you refer to as Mrs. FinEng….she may not be pumped?
@ Evan:
I just confirmed it, she said: “That’s fine”… Although we just got finished driving 2 hrs…
Congrats! And welcome back!
@ Jenna:
THANKS!
Congratulations on getting hitched! Your vacation sounds awesome and totally relaxing, no wonder you were missing in action at the blog! Hopefully things will settle into a nice pace and you can get back to blogging regularly.
@ Mrs. A:
Again, sorry I missed the meetup. Hope it was fun. Being generally high strung, it was very relaxing. She actually commented on how she’d never seen me that relaxed before.
Congrats and welcome back as well!
@ Roshawn:
….. I STILL need to mail you that package…. I have NOT forgotten. You’ll get it eventually!
Congrats to you and Mrs. FE! I hear Belize is absolutley incredible, hope you had a blast!
@ Car Coach:
It was…actually excited my expectations. I’ll have to send over a few photos when I get around to cataloging them.
Great to have you back and congratulations.
I do have to say that I’m very jealous of the Belize trip. Sounds amazing.
Looking forward to seeing some more great content.
@ Andrew:
Thanks for the support Andrew & stopping by!
Keep up the great work!
@ Andrew:
Thanks for the support as always from Money Crashers.
Massive congrats and glad it all went to plan. Life goes so fast for me I barely noticed it was weeks… Just felt more like a week.
Liking the new site design, it’s clean and crisp and the Alexa will be back in no time at all.
I’m syndicated with NewsTek now too…. Have to wait til Jan to get my first report so a little bummed that I can’t see anything in real time but exciting none the less.
@ Forest:
Yes, it is exciting. Feel “professional” now, like the site has some clout to it. Now that I am getting back into it, it’s really energizing me and I’m getting pumped to get back to my old status.
