A Pig Surprise.

If you had to guess which of us was more impulsive, me or Josh, who would you choose? I think the people who know us in "real life" would think that it was me. But they would be wrong. Oh-so-wrong. I actually think that for the most part, I am pretty level-headed. Josh is too, but sometimes I have to be his voice of reason.

But sometimes the voice of reason is sleeping and cannot do her job. Sigh.

A few days ago, I was laying in bed. I had just woken up and was being lazy, not wanting to get out from under the covers. I could hear Josh walking to the bedroom, so I rolled over. He opened the door and was being really, really weird. I cannot even accurately describe his behavior...He was laughing like a crazy person and just kept saying, "I did a bad thing!" So, naturally, I'm freaking out like, "Oh my gosh! What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO."

"I bought...I BOUGHT A PIG."

"No, you didn't! Oh my gosh, no you didn't!" He did.

I ran out to the living room, and sure enough, there she was. A little, tiny grey + pink pig. She was the cutest thing in the world. But, I knew we couldn't keep her. In fact, Josh had just encouraged me a few days previous to find a new home for the kitten we'd found, because it wouldn't be easy to travel, stay with family, move with her next her.

Apparently in his book pigs are a different story? I don't know.

I really wanted so badly to keep this little pig. I even had a list of possible names going! I had a pet pig when I was little (Arnold!) and had wanted another one for years + years. (Rip my heart out, why don't ya, Josh?!) But this was so not the right time to introduce a little pig into our family. (Even though it would have been really super cute for Tatum to have a miniature pig BFF named Petunia. Or Penelope.)

I would definitely recommend a pig for a pet, though. They're super sweet. This particular little lady loved belly rubs. : )

We definitely plan on getting one after we've found a place to call home for a few years. : )
