Joey - Ah, yes, to be young and in control of your life!  I do remember those days.  I wish I had your energy, but the reality of an aging body does set some limits and the time I'd like to spend at the fitness center is often spent in the nursing home looking after my elderly parents (only child and they are in their 90's).  I have my Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from Columbia U. and worked both in corporate positions and external as a consultant for most of my career.  Real estate is a semi-retirement career.  I'm not complaining, life is good, but I sure can't keep up with you or your wife.  LOL.  We have a lot in common.  I looked into Zen Buddism while I was in a leadership position in a Christian church.  Just curious, like you.  They tossed me out of the church.  I didn't get into Zen Buddism heavily, but to me there is no other religion that creates the same empowering sense of feeling both centered and calm.  As long as you are exploring, read some of Joel Goldmith's books, such as A Parenthesis in Eternity.  Life is a wonderful adventure and I think it is great that you and your wife are growing in mind, body, and spirit.
