Good luck!
My only advice is not to be in a hurry, and have a blast!
Looks like you will be flying a C-150/152? That's a fun little airplane.

awesome, I was finally able to get my girlfriend to go up with me this past weekend. It took some time and persuasion for her to get the guts to go in a small plane (C-172) but she ended up loving it.

Good luck with your training Flying Freak and Scrima. Its a lot of hard work, but it is well worth it once you get your ticket.

And btw, thats a pretty sick flying field you got up there.
