New, but willing to learn

 I'm pretty new to the chess world, but after doing a little reading, I decided to try my hand at a game, which I did win, but I know there's ALOT to be learned from every game, which is why I'm posting this on here for analysis.  Trust me, I'm sure it's ugly...but I'm hoping to make it less ugly through practice and analysis.  Thanks in advance!

you did well missed a few oppotunities but other wise good... Your 9th move u could have played e4-e5 forking his knight and bishop and his knight is still pinnied to the queen so even if he thought of Bc5 u move your queen and his knight still in trouble 19th move for u Bxf5...if Bxd5 20. Rxd5...Rxd5 21.Be6+ with the rook to go and attacking the other one too. Move 27. Bxc8 was better for you... u did good mate.

What littleman says about playing e5 is true as soon as move 7. The first and easiest way to improve your game is to recognize simple patterns like this one. the pawn moves forward one square and attacks two pieces simultaneously.

 

Starting at move 10 you trade away your three most active pieces. It's easier to build up an attack if you don't exchange away pieces so easily.

 

On move 28 you could play d7 and promote the pawn on the next move.

8 Nd5 looks strong, to break up the K-side pawns. littleman probably meant 28 Bxc8. not bad 4 a newbee.

Thanks for the advice...it's great to get feedback and not people saying "you suck", and "I can't believe you play this bad".  Thanks again.
