synergy

I enjoy being able to bounce ideas off someone.  To get their feedback and hear their ideas spurs my own thinking further to better understand concepts I would not have understood as fully if this interaction had not occurred.
This is something I can do with Troy continually.  And because our thought processes are so different I glean new ways of understanding regularly.  Even though we think differently, our belief systems are very similar.  We both have the same religion and are on the same level in that religion.  We both have strong desires and aspirations for our children, and we both want our children to be masters of their own lives.  We both just want to do our best. 

I love Troy for being different from me enough to cause me to think harder and similar to me enough at the same time which ensures we have a mutual understanding on most issues.
