  • After 21 years, we still get on each other’s LAST nerve, we still laugh a lot at each other’s complete opposite approach to life {with help from Jesus 😝🙌🏼}, we still support one another in all that we want to pursue, we still date one another 💏, and we still claim to be BEST FRIENDS 👫!!! I LOVE our wild {dysfunctional at times} + passionate relationship! So, cheers to #nationalbestfriendday + to living another 21 years with my guy ❤️🙌🏼❤️ #myman #mybestfriend #miketheeman
