Our Story

The Green Futon

Our story began in an unexpected way with a new job and a futon purchase.


I was the new girl at work. During orientation with HR, Billy burst into the room unprofessionally, with his holey T-shirt and unruly beard to reach under the conference table to grab his gear bag. I was appalled at the time, but this certainly made the first introduction a memorable one. It wasn't love at first sight, but it’s one of our favorite parts of our love story to tell.


During a hurricane day at work a few weeks later, we started to find out we had quite a bit in common. We were the only two people that went in that day, (the new girl & workaholic) and connected over music, movies and a love of bourbon.


A few weeks later, I found out that Billy was in need of furniture and offered to sell him a futon really cheap. We met up to make the exchange and after a lot of witty banter and a Funday Sunday, we realized we were soul mates.


We've have been inseparable ever since!


Sometimes, it's the unexpected encounters that lead us to the most extraordinary love stories.


PS- We have no idea where the futon is now.....
