Okay, yesterday I played tennis with my brother, and I defeated him 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 (saving 4 match points at 3-6, 2-5 down :)), but my brother and I both agreed that my serve was TOTALLY off and HORRIBLE. I probably hit 20 1st serves in the entire match.

I was wondering what I'm doing right. I felt like I couldn't get any power in my wind-up swing and I'm pushing the ball out. I'm making contact with the ball too late.

You might well be "arming" the ball.
Watch your weight transfer, this thread might be for you
What is the right way?I think i transfer weight too early when serving.. (http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=41838)
there are several good points there,
and watch your rotation.
