The two met back in 2002 at the Iowa State Fair (naturally). Though it may have been an instant crush, it only became a friendship that led to meeting up every year at the fair. When the fair wasn't going on, Kameron and Anna occasionally emailed or messaged online since their families lived hours apart. Their days talking long distance very often looked like Anna and her sisters on one end of a webcam, with the four youngest Powell boys on the other end, each taking turns to type messages to catch up on life as it was. As the years went on, chatting online became scarce so neither are quite sure how they could hang out so easily each summer after an entire year apart, but now we can call it God's design. :) Fast forward to 2017! She stopped at the soap booth, hesitant though as she hadn't caught him there the last few years and she thought maybe they were all too old for this "quick catch up" every year. But of course he was there! The two found out, for the first time EVER, they both lived in Des Moines at the same time. Over the next several months they pursued a new friendship, enjoying the convenience of being able to hang out as often as possible. The crush only grew and a year in, the two decided to explore how their life could be as a couple, and have had a blast ever since, learning more about each other and experiencing life side by side. ❤
