1.  Support DH in finding a career that he's happy and fulfilled with.  If that involves moving, so be it.2.  Have baby #1.  Baby #2 will probably need to be postponed longer than 5 years.3.  Pay a huge chunk of DH's student loans off.  It's our only debt (besides my car), and I hate having it there.4.  Buy a "new to us" home or (preferably) build a home. 5.  Save according to the budget DH and I have set.  If we can be successful saving that number, we'll have our financial situation set up well for that home, baby, and student loans discussed in #2, #3, #4.
