Thanks again. I did the test run and after the fee screen I got a window that says "Information" in the upper left hand corner with the Electrum logo, and inside the window it says "Payment sent" with a long string of letters/numbers.

What I don't like and wasn't expecting was there is no history of the transaction within Electrum afterward. I assume because I didn't sweep it into one of my Electrum wallet addresses is why its not showing in the history, just weird to perform that sweep and see nothing when returning to the regular interface.

My friend might not check his email until tomorrow, so I guess I could see the transaction confirmation on the blockchain by entering my friends address it was sent to, or if I enter my old paper wallet address the balance should be zero now.
