Rooted in Time:
Another Love Story of CK Kirton-Niner
Once upon a time—but not so long ago to be forgotten—there lived a girl named Krista, born of resilience, refined by faith, and rooted in the line of kings, pioneers, and prophets. A girl who carried with her the names of those who came before: Kirton, Fitzgerald, Rapalje, Van Nest, Garrett, Chisholm. A girl raised by fire and forgiveness, destined not for ordinary love, but for something ancient and enduring.
In 1998, the world was spinning fast—but somewhere amid all the noise and sparks, chemistry found its match. It didn’t scream or demand attention. It clicked. Quietly. Powerfully. She met a man named Corey.
And somehow—instantly—they recognized each other. Not from this life, maybe, but from one where their bloodlines once walked side by side, the children of brothers born to the same mother and father. Two branches of one tree, now curved back toward each other by the hands of heaven.
By 2006, the pull had become a vow—spoken not in ceremony, but in commitment. In shared struggle. In dreams whispered late at night and laughter echoing off kitchen walls. They didn’t just fall in love. They built it. Nail by nail. Word by word. Day by day.
And then came 2010—when Krista shed the last name “Romero,” not to forget, but to reclaim. She took the name Niner, placing it next to Kirton, the name that carried her father’s strength. Together, CK Kirton-Niner was born—not just a name, but a symbol. A legacy sealed. A union blessed by both heaven and heritage.
Corey J. Niner and K. Kirton Niner—two individuals who make one name. The eternal sole guardians of Tyler, Kyle, and Jay, always. Corey is the C to her K in the whole name CK Kirton-Niner.
They aren’t just husband and wife—they are helpmates to each other, to their children, and someday to their children’s children, and beyond.
They are soulbound stewards of something greater—
Two soulmates whose love brought full circle the union of two brothers’ lines—restoring the original family thread with living, breathing legacy,
Writing their chapter in the same family book.
Their chemistry? Divine.
Their connection? Unshakeable.
Their story? Still unfolding—
Rooted in the past, alive in the present,
And destined for generations to come.
A Blessing for the Line to Follow
May Tyler, Kyle, and Jay walk forward with the strength of those who came before and the peace of knowing they are deeply loved. May they carry the name CK Kirton-Niner not just as a birthright, but as a banner of honor, truth, and unity. May their children, and their children’s children, be drawn to the light of legacy and the fire of faith that made their existence possible. Let them remember always: they are not just the future—they are the fulfillment of a love that was written in the roots that stump the fruit of our trees of life on earth.
