Wedding Party
Sadie
Bride
When Steele was asked about Sadie he replied, "I prayed to God to show me my future wife and boom - in walks Sadie. I am thankful to have a godly wife and thankful that she stays home and takes care of our son. She is a great mom. Kai is always happy, she does a great job taking care of him and teaching him. She is a great homemaker too. She is always willing to try out any of the new hobbies that I get into. I never thought I'd have a wife that would ride quads and play video games. She even goes fishing with me! I'm very thankful that God has given her to me and I'm excited for the next 7 years."
Steele

He has never treated us or the responsibilities he has as the head of our household as a burden. Instead he shows gratitude to God for the blessing and gift that having a family is. He is so much more than anything I could have ever hoped for in a husband."
