This is my first puppy and pet, her name is Friday. She was born on May 16, 2011 and I took her home on July 28, 2011.
Congrats, she is adorable, you must be very excited!! 
My first night with her I could not sleep, I ended up getting a crate that was way too big for her and the whole time I was nervous she would poop in it (which she did).
Did you get the correct size crate for training? You should, it is the best way to potty train. I was a wreck and was texting the breeder and telling her I wasn't sure if I could be a daddy! I took her to the vet the next day and she checked out fine and her tests were all OK.
Glad to hear!
I was walking through PetSmart and met an amazing trainer who showed her how to sit, stay, and come in a matter of minutes and it put me at ease that she is willing to learn and that she was a friendly and smart puppy.
She rarely cries and barks now which is great although she will whine when she sees me leaving sometimes.
Ignore her as you leave, take her outside to potty, bring her back in put her in crate & leave.
My issues now are that she won't potty outside in the grass, I live on the 3rd floor of a condo and while it's not a long way down it is still a journey for me. I put a potty pad outside in the patio/balcony and she would pee on it and usually poop on it. Even on long walks, she waits until we get upstairs for her to do her business and usually won't poop if people are looking at her.
Get rid of the pads. Make her walk down to the grass & do her business there everytime. I also noticed that on several occasions the poop was moved and sometimes smushed on the floor as if she was trying to move it or hide it. I do not know what is causing this but it can be very gross although I do clean her up always.
Some dogs kick backwards & throw up grass like the are covering it afterwards. Shield does it & it is soo funny because he growls like he is such a tough guy!! Cracks me up!! 
That could be what she is doing?? I have yelled at her in frustration over the poop before so I am thinking she tries to hide it so she doesn't get yelled at?
Def. don't yell at her. She doesn't understand. You taught her to use the pads, she is just doing whats normal for her. She'll learn. 
I also realized that she will poop in her crate over night sometimes but NEVER inside the little travel bag (I moved her in there to sleep over night and has not gone in it).
Is the crate too big still?? How long is she in there without a potty break?
She is a very social dog as my best friends have dogs! She likes to play and run around them, especially big dogs. However when walking her on the street she must say HI to everyone that passes by (although she is very cute and people always come up to her). How can I control this or teach her to sit and not get too excited with strangers?
With strangers at your house, advise them to ignore her for awhile. If she barks at them in the house or yard clap your hands once or twice strongly to get attention. it works, none of my dogs have been or are yappy, that gets on my nerves. Don't talk to them or touch them, that is positive to them. Carry small treats while walking & make sure she knows you have them. Practice the sit command frequently. Also, while walking don't let the dog walk in front of you or let her go inside first, even up the stairs(any entrance doorways), it shows them that you are the alpha dog.
She has gotten 3 of her shots, she is going to get her 4th one in a couple weeks including the rabies shot so I think she is set there.
My next decision I have to make is whether or not I should get her spayed and when I should get her spayed if I did decide to do that? I know Yorkie's produce nice puppies and can be sold for a good amount of money but as my first pet do I spay her to just do it and learn more or what? My friends have different opinions about it.
