Newbie buying first equipment

I am moving from Florida to Iowa (not exactly mountain country) this month, and the only thing about winter I am looking forward to is learning to snowboard. I used the board size calculator, and for some reason I didn't get any board recommendations. I did however get the size range and for me it was 155cm and 248mm waist width. Before I head up to Iowa I decided to buy gear at the Burton outlet store and based on the size selector and the sales rep recommendation I bought an 09 Burton Deuce 155. It has a 249mm waist width almost exactly what was recommended by your size selector. The price was also great ($60) less than the board is on the-house.com. I am 5'8″ 210 lbs 9.5 boot size. Anyhow i was wondering if you guys could recommend some good Burton boots and bindings for me to loo

Anyhow i was wondering if you guys could recommend some good Burton boots and bindings for me to look into when I go back to the store (the prices are great there so I figure for starters I will stay all Burton). Being that the outlet is here I might as well take advantage off having the outlet so close before the move. I plan on mostly trying to learn freestyle boarding and park stuff, if that matters in your recommendations.
