Colby, welcome to APC. We have active flight training forums here and quite a few certified instructors (CFIs) frequent these forums.

I think you rushed into your first flight lesson a little and maybe should not have bought the Jepesson flight kit without thinking about your desires a little bit deeper. It sounds like your first lesson was organized and professional as far as it went, on the day you flew. However, I wish you would take week off and think about what you want out of flying before you commit the kind of resources needed to obtain a private pilot certificate. You are looking at 7-8 thousand dollars and 30 to 50 flights to finish. Flying is wonderful no doubt about that- but it is also very expensive, and most people drop out after only a few lessons.

Personally I hope you continue. Let us know how it goes.
