Congratulations on the new scope Michelle, 10" is a great starting size and the Orions appear to be well made.
One hint, get a small notebook and make notes of what you observe, just a few simple notes, eg date, time, name of object and a brief description. It is often hard to remember what you have seen and it is helpful to revisit objects later and compare notes.
Once you have done the collimation a few times it gets really easy.
