Piano lessons

I am 35 years old and have always wanted to learn how to play the piano. Last year my husbands friend GAVE us a piano. It sits in the garage...nice place for it eh? Last summer I bought myself a book off of Ebay on how to teach yourself piano. I finally picked it up 3 weeks ago, he he...nothing like a procrastination....and am learning how to play. I LOVE it....wish I would have done it way sooner. So I figure I will make my way through this book and then hopefully will find a "real" piano teacher to help me play better. I played the trumpet in school and taught myself to play the clarinet..no books or anything. So I figured that I could stumble my way through this piano book and get started!!!
