Yes congratulations!
I cannot help it, but I have to recommend seeing the movie "Captian Ron". My wife and I saw the movie just before taking our first sail lesson, and your story reminded me of it.
We have bought our first boat (4 months after our three day lesson) and love our money pit (it is 27 years old and has not seen much maintenance).
