... What A Week ...

Well it has just been one of those weeks. There hasn't been a dull moment yet and I am glad this week is almost over!!

First off... Lance got a letter from Cal Poly Pomona telling him he is put on a waiting list and to turn in a portfolio of all his work! Way exciting...the kicker...they gave him a week to do so. Luckily he has been playing around with some buildings ahead of time so we were lucky in that sense cause he was prepared for this. We have spent probably 2-3 hours together this week, he hasn't slept much or ate much, and our future literally lies all on this and thats pretty spookie ookie.

Then my sister and her kids are in town which is SOOO much fun so we decided to take them to the beach!! For some reason this week decided to be extremely hot and I never put on suntan lotion and we were only going to be there for 2 hours anyways but I decided I should put some on. Shocker shocker there is no protecting my white skin so I got fried on my neck, shoulders, and feet. I don't know how other people are with sunburns but it just messes me up. I can't sleep. I can't relax. I can't be normal. Bad week for the first summer burn.

And then what is a bad week without a little car trouble? First my car has been freaking out and the engine light will come on then turn off and then make funny noises so thats always good news. Then with Lance's crazy hours of working, schooling, doing his portfolio, and trying to find time to eat and sleep he doesn't have much time to fall behind or miss literally a minute of his days especially when he has to put in X amount of hours at work so it really didn't help when he put in a late night of portfolio stuff and had to wake up early and get to work and find he has a flat tire. Another nice bill to add to the pile =)

That is the week of the Higgins'. Luckily these are just day to day everyday life problems and complaints that will clear away sooner or later and for that we are extremely grateful. Sometimes pregnancy emotions get the best of you and it feels like you just can't gain control of what direction you are going.

Our Baby Girl and Her Name...

As most of you already know we are having a little girl! Lance and I have had our kids names picked out since we were 17 and 18 years old and for a little girl we picked out the name Roxanne but we would call her Roxy. We totally love the name and she seems like a spunky little chick so we feel it'll work out BUT there is one problem with this....

I AM GOING TO GO BROKE!!!!!! I didn't even know they had Roxy clothes for babies! So far I've found baby sizes at Macys and Nordys and they are just to die for. They are so cute and great quality but I just can't justify spending so much for an outfit that will be quickly grown out of and destroyed by our little girl. It is quite the dilemma but I know eventually I'll give in to the temptation of buying her a $40 Roxy swimsuit just so she can have her name on her cute little behind =)

Our Crazy Life

Well to get this started I thought I'd let everyone know whats going on with the Higgins!! Right now our life is at major crossroads so things feel pretty crazy and we don't know where we'll be in a couple months so we are livin' off of prayers! Lance has finished all his applications for college. We are desperate to get into Cal Poly Pomona but their architecture program is extremely competitive so we are crossing all our fingers and we should find out in the next week or so. We are also waiting to hear from UCLA but that would take us away from our jobs and our life here but we'll go where we need to go. His work is great and right now he is taking classes at Mt. SAC so he's quite the driver these days.

As for me, I'm just growing our little girl and doing hair on the side =) I take clients at home, their homes, or at the salon whenever needed and thats been working well. I've become Lance's secretary so I stay busy with all his school work, application forms, student aide, filling his tummy, etc etc...This girl has turned into quite the kicker so she always keeps me alert and running to the bathroom. We are at 24 weeks so her kicks aren't as soft as they used to be. She goes nuts whenever there is a loud noise or music so it's a nice reminder she's in there!

So, thats our story. We are hoping to stay in the area cause we have been eyeing some houses we like in Corona/Riverside area but again...we have to wait and see where the man will be going to school starting September. These next couple months will keep us on our toes with our housing situation, baby coming, and school weighing on us but we are trying to enjoy the ride =)
