My 1st Chess Game

  I am a 'fairly' experienced player, and I play mostly for fun.  Since I am currently in a relationship with a nice Russian girl, and her folks love chess, my interest in the game has picked up and I try to play as much as possible in between working on my Ph.D.  I posted my 1st game here to see if anyone has any suggestions about better moves, strategies, etc. and would love to hear some comments/criticisms.  After all, I have to get much better to beat my gf's parents, who are from the old Soviet Union (no, the last name is not Spassky)!
