We met about 13 years ago through one of his family members. Michaela can remember way back when having a crush on him and honestly that never really went away. Through the years we both had our own lives keeping in touch every now and then. In August of 2018 Michaela called Powers and he was on the tractor (of course) and they talked for a couple of hours and the phone call ended with a plan to go on a date. Michaela came to Clovis to see Powers and they went on their first date to a Koe Wetzel concert. After that first date we both knew that we wanted to continue seeing each other so we were in a long distance relationship for a little while. In October of 2018 we both realized we wanted to be closer to each other so Michaela moved back to her hometown her in Clovis, NM. Michaela lived with her best friend for a while and then after that Michaela and Powers moved in together in Tulia while Powers finished school. Once Powers graduated they both moved home to Texico, NM. We have been through lots of ups and lots of downs but we have leaned on each other through it all. Powers has the ability to make Michaela laugh uncontrollably over the dumbest things. Michaela has a 4 year old daughter who Powers has claimed as his own and absolutely adores. Powers is now running the family farm and Michaela is working EMS for a local community. So after three years together, we are so excited to take this next step and see where the rest of our lives takes us.
