is there away for me to program a new ignition and key on my own.

You need the proper diagnostic equipment to gain security access to program the keys. Because it's a security issue, this equipment is typically only available to automotive technicians and perhaps some locksmiths. Seek out other alternatives near you; you may find a better deal. As a note, the programming of your new keys should really be less than $120 on its own; often less depending on the labor time charged and labor per hour cost.
