Jesse,

Just tell her it's the vibrations from the plane and if she starts to vibrate like that then you will spend more time with her also

Seriously, congrats. As was already mentioned there will be more adrenalin rushes, the first takeoff, the first landing, the first aerobatic maneuver, the solo, the first maiden you do of your own plane, etc....

As Casey said "nerves get worse exponentially to the amount of money tied up in the airplane " Yep, they sure do but as with anything else is the hobby/addiction, the adrenalin subsides until the next new thing.

Most instructors are more than willing to take training past the solo stage. Mine helped me in my quest to fly IMAC and in return he got several gift certificates to the LHS. I also instruct and I have no problem helping students past solo although it may take a bit of prodding on their part to tear me away from my planes at times.

For me it's very pleasing to sit down and watch a former student fly. Kinda gives me the warm and fuzzies knowing that I took someone from ground school to a safe and competent pilot.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is:

Please keep us all informed of your progress and ask, ask, ask if you need any help. That's what we are all here for plus the gentle rib tickling on occasion.

Enjoy... and welcome
