I'm A Big Kid Now...

It has been awhile since I've blogged it up and I figured I better do it now before I become obsessed with my new toy (Roxy). So...once again, the Higgins are on the go so I will break it all down to make it easier for the reader and author =)
SCHOOL
Well my dear little Lancey Pants pour his heart and soul out into his portfolio and getting good grades and did not end up getting accepted in the advance placement program at Cal Poly Pomona. He is still on the waitlist to get into the Architect Program but we were trying to shoot a little higher. As a little time has passed, we have realized almost what a blessing it is that he didn't get in because of the other things that are currently taking over our lives that I would not be able to work out on my own. The program is very demanding of the students time and he would be enrolled right now and school would come before work and with where our goals are set and our circumstances, that would make things very difficult so we know this is how it is supposed to be.
WORK
Lance is just one amazing man. He recently got a promotion at his job and is just becoming studlier and studlier at his firm. I am amazed at how hard he works and how brilliant the guy is. Cal Poly has no idea what they are losing but with his time opening up since school is not such a pressure right now, he just keeps getting higher and higher on the food chain. What a stud. As for my work, I'm still cuttin hair and renting a station. The owner of the salon is awesome and very accommodating to my needs so after the little girl arrives we are going to figure out what my clients needs are and how often I'll need a station. My first priority is to be a mom so I'll have my little group of clients and make it work so Lance is home and I can run away for a couple hours and help bring in a little here and there.
HOUSE
Since prices for homes are so low right now, we started looking into purchasing a little home for ourselves. Just so happens, there is an awesome program in certain cities that help first time home buyers to get into a house so we have taken advantage of that. We just put down an offer for a cute 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home in Corona and we are in a bidding war so we are holding our breaths and saying LOTS of prayers. We are still looking at houses just in case and found another home we'd like to put an offer on but our hearts are currently set on this first one!
FOXY ROXY
I have about 3 weeks left and I went to the doctor today and she said I'm dilated and her head is down!! Then she said, "I think you are going to be like me." So I had to ask, "In what way?" And she said, "I delivered 3 weeks early and then 2 weeks early." Holla for a dolla! Music to my ears! So, she was saying walk, walk, walk and do my part to keep the ball rollin! We spent this weekend setting up her crib and changing table and jamming it into our little one bedroom apartment. Our lease is up the end of August so we have to sit tight till then and hopefully we'll have a nice little home to stretch our legs in and raise our little family!
