Hi Rich Stinch, welcome to the wonderful world of making music with a guitar, and to the UTGF. Your 214ce is EVER so much better than my first guitar, and will make your learning a relative breeze. (I remember my fingers literally bleeding a little on my first fretboard at age 13 - the thing required the grip of a strong wood clamp to fret, and I loved every minute of it!) You're among friends here, the kind that certainly doesn't mind questions from someone just starting out, so don't be shy to ask for the wisdom or advice of others here. Good luck!
