My hubby and I had a very productive discussion last night.  We met for dinner and just being alone with him made me feel like we were back on our honeymoon!

We decided to focus this talk around the "Newlywed Financial Bootcamp" from the Motley Fool website.  Basically, we set up a list of our goals, without worrying about how crazy they may seem.  Then, we selected our top goals and gave ourselves a couple of "first steps" towards achieving them.

So, our top goals are:

• Buy a home in a decent neighborhood, so our son can get a good public school education
• Make his law practice more successful
• Get in shape

And our first steps, due for our next talk on Friday are:

• Gather bills so we can work out a budget
• Fill out the charter school paperwork, in case we can't be in a new home before September
• Write the text for the landing page for his professional website

We'll talk more about getting in shape on Friday.  I have been trying to follow the "Couch to 5K" plan.  Of course, it is taking me 2 weeks to get through the first week...but at least I am trying.  I think I will mix it up with some bellydancing videos.  I LOVE bellydancing!

He'd like to take up one of the martial arts.  He already is a black belt in karate.
