Okay, found it. Now, it says that it is at 20006 megabytes, which I am
assuming is it's size. But, I can't move the number upwards to give it
more room. I went to the correct partition, clicked resize/move, and
that's where I found the current size. Is it because I am booted in to
Fedora that I can't modify the size?

In general resizing a mounted partition would be Bad, though some
filesystems such as BTRFS or LVM can do it I think. Much safer to do it
from single-user mode (e.g. for /home) or from a rescue disk (for /).
LVM isn't a filesystem, Pat, it's a storage container that holds a
filesystem. To grow a filesystem on an LVM, you grow the LVM first (if
it needs more space), then grow the filesystem on it.
To shrink a filesystem on an LVM, you first shrink the filesystem (if
you can--some don't support shrinking), then you can shrink the
containing LVM.
And yes, one should only resize filesystems that aren't mounted. Much
safer. :-)
