Life Hasn’t Changed Much

When my niece, Siara Kirk hit on her future husband, Chris Kirk, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. My niece is a bold, outgoing girl, and when she saw Chris, she thought he was cute. That was really all she was thinking at the time. Little did either of them know where that first date would take them. The year 2021 ended on a high note starting in early September when Siara confidently approached Chris at the local Loaf and Jug convenience store in Casper, complimenting his freckles. This marked the beginning of a wonderful relationship. They discovered they shared many interests, including a passion for exercise and travel, with a special love for couple’s workouts that are truly impressive when performed by these two. Their love grew, and on March 20, 2022, Chris proposed, and Siara accepted.

For Chris and Siara, “supposedly” life hasn’t changed much over the past year, but I would beg to differ. With the addition of their sweet boy, Nathan, on January 15, 2024, everything changed. They now have a sweet, goofy little boy that keeps them hopping all the time. There is really never a dull moment. I could go into so many of Nathan’s antics, but I’ll save that for his story in January. Chris and Siara are busily keeping up with all the antics of a soon to be two-year-old boy!!

Chris loves being a dad and working from 8:00am to 8:00pm means that he has some weekdays off. Chris loves that because it gives him tome to be with his boy. They are best buddies and do everything together. When Chris is at work, Nathan spends the day calling for his daddy and fully expecting him to come home immediately. When Siara does something to make Nathan mad, he yells for his “Dada” to tell on his mom. Of course, that won’t work for very long, but Chris is such a patient and calming man that he can defuse any situation quickly…including the rantings of an almost two-year-old boy about a mommy who is “doing him wrong!!” Chris is not only Nathan’s best friend, but he is Siara’s best friend too. These days Chris is looking into becoming an electrician. The apprenticeship program is a difficult one to get into, but I have no doubt that with hard work and perseverance, Chris will make that dream come true. Today is Chris’ birthday. Happy birthday Chris!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
