Well, I've been poking around the forums and reading some of the beginner's articles so I figured it's about time to say hello and introduce myself.

Background:
I've always loved music. I played saxophone for several years growing up and have always had a love for music. I had always wanted to learn to play guitar, so after my sister–Manager for Peter Frampton–gave me a copy of Emedia guitar method 1 (endorsed by PF) I decided now was the time. So I bought a Yamaha 403GS acoustic guitar based on several user reviews and that I didn't want to spend much more in case I gave up.

So here I am at 34, married, practicing every night after our son goes to bed and I'm LOVIN IT!
Only been at it for 1 month but its been a great stress reliever.

I appreciate the wealth of info on the site and have been reading the beginner's articles, as well as refreshing myself on music theory.

Musical tastes: Foo Fighters to U2 to Third Day to Praise

Psa. 42:8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.

That sounds familliar (looks in mirror).

Welcome to GN.
You'll find lots of folks who are at the same place in life and guitar experience here, all rubbing elbows with those who have been playing all their life.

Have fun with that guitar. That's what it's for.

Welcome to GN! I am in a very similar situation myself. I'm a bit over a year into it now. Just keep plugging away when you can. Before you know it, it all comes together.
