Help! What kind of orchid do I have?

I just got this beautiful orchid last night, but I don't know what kind it is. Can anyone help me out with an identification? I really want to learn how to properly care for it so I don't kill it.

Thanks!!!

Sharyn is just fantasticSharyn is just fantastic
tsweet: Welcome to the forum. Here's a culture sheet for Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid) from the AOS.
AOS | Phalaenopsis

Also, you may like to check out the watering method using a bamboo skewer. For some reason, I cannot find the sticky thread for you. I'll keep looking.

Ah....just found it: Skewer use for watering of orchids
