Welcome and congrats.
You may want to crawl underneath and take a look at the shifter cable from the steering column to the transmission (crawl under behind the driver's front wheel). See this thread for more info:

Not trying to scare you, but yours is new enough that you can probably get away with tying the cable somewhere without having to replace it.
