Lesa Steele:  

Yep, thats right. The guy with me may look familiar to some of you. He's Mark Steele (class of 82). His sisters Theresa and Virginia also went to UNI. We just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, but have been together since Halloween of 1981. We're happily married with two wonderful sons (really!). We moved to New Jersey in 1996 after our business was bought and it was one of the stipulations. Looks like we'll stay although we would like to retire somewhere on the coast up north in CA (Carmel, Santa Barbara, etc). I haven't worked in 20+ years (an agreement before we married) even though I went to F.I.D.M. for Interior Design and had a great job I loved when we married. As a family we enjoy target shooting and Mark will soon begin training for his NRA trainers license. My son Michael is a really accurate shooter. The laws in NJ are tough re gun ownership. Some may wonder how I can be a Christian and believe in gun ownership. I believe in the Second Ammendment. I believe I have the right to protect my life with a gun. The guys shoot Glocks; I shoot a Smith & Wesson (although I think secretly Mark really prefers my S&W). Our two dogs are both purebred Pomeranians with papers and we were surprised to find out they share the same Grandmother (even though they come from different states). Spoiled of course! Hershey came from a rescue shelter and he's my baby. Nilla came from a breeder and he's Marks baby. I believe God called us to Nilla because he was to be killed by the breeder very soon. You wouldn't even believe the blizzard we drove through to get the silly dog. We do not believe in the purchase of animals from breeders. Nilla was very inexpensive so the breeder wanted him sold. We think he was dropped on his head as he's really...well dumb and he thinks he's a cat. He also is cross-eyed. So God called me to Nilla. I would like to have a couple more Poms, as well as some chickens, a rooster, a miniature horse and someone to clean up after them. Poms are really barky...Expand for more
