Why moving the pawn to d5 was so hard for me to figure out I'll never understand.

Attack the knight and win it, because it can't move.
But that is what drives me nuts. It seems anything you read says development, development, development. Castle as fast as possible, so that's why I lose every game I play. I can see that playing d5 is a great move now, but if I was playing that game I'll guarantee I would have missed it.

Yes, development is important, but you should always stop and think if you have some possibilities to win some material. Sometimes winning material is more important that castling and sometimes it is not. In most cases, castling is more important than winning a pawn, because winning that pawn maybe can stop you from castling in the future and because of it, you can lose a game. In this case, your king is safe and you can win a knight, so there is nothing to worry about.
