30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 7: Favorite Movies

Yes, yes....I know that I didn't blog yesterday, but I was at my parent's house and they have....DIAL UP!!!! I'm sure we're the only household in America that still has the dreaded dial up internet. They live so far out in the country that we can't get wireless. Sad, but true story.....maybe one day it will happen.

So Day 7 of the blog challenge is Favorite Movies. I love movies, so it's hard for me to chose a favorite, but I have one. My all time favorite movie is

I can watch this movie over and over and over again. Yes, it's 3 hours long, but it's worth watching. There's not much to say about this movie, but I think there are two types of people when it comes to it being a favorite: You either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. There is no in between. It's a classic. Here's a fun fact about this movie for those of you who do not know this: This movie is the first movie to ever have a curse word in it. We all know the line....."Frankly my dear, I don't give a ........" because this is a G-rated blog, I will refrain from putting the word. But seriously, if you haven't seen it go out right now and rent it or Netflix it. You have to see it.

Another movie that I love is

This one is my go to movie when I'm in a sappy love story kind of mood. The movie always leaves me saying "I think that if Katie and Hubble really tried they could have made it." It's as simple as that. I'm not going to lie, if you watch this movie, have a box of tissues handy. It will make you cry.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 6: Your Siblings

I have one sister. Her name is Camille, and she is one of my best friends. She has always been there for me even when I didn't want her to be. She was one of the people I missed the most when I went away to college for the first time. She loves to make awkward situations, and loves it when it's a situation I am in. Nonetheless, she brightens up my day when I'm around her. We share silly traits and do things a certain way, like only sisters could. Sure we fight, but who doesn't fight with their siblings? We've been through a lot together, and if I could choose a different sister, I wouldn't. I would choose her to be my sister again and again. In case you can't tell, she is also one of my favorite people to photograph. Her fun personality always shines through the photos.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 5: A song to match your mood

I am exhausted at the moment, and only have a few minutes before I crash for the night. That's what being a teacher intern does to you. Today, despite the rainy and eventless weather, was actually pretty good. I was in a happy mood. Here are a few songs that were on my mind today.

This video is for the song Falling in Love in A Coffee Shop. I absolutely love this song.

This video was made by my creative and incredibly talented boyfriend, Stefan Tribble, and his group for one of his classes. It turned out pretty great....not that I had any doubt that it would. He always does a great job.

Who doesn't love Abba's song Dancing Queen?

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 4: Your parents

My parents are Leslie and Susan Watts. They were married on July 9, 1983. This year they will celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary. I am so very blessed to have wonderful, loving parents like these two. They have always been there for me and my sister. They have always supported both of us, even if they didn't agree with what we were doing, and most of all, they shared the love of Christ with us. They pray for us daily and ask God to keep us safe. They say you can't choose the family you were born into, but if I could, I would still choose them.

I will post more pictures of my parents on this post tomorrow. I recently scanned some old ones of them during their first few years of marriage and thought I would share them.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 3: Your first love.

My first love? Well, that's a hard question to answer....actually not really. The first time I was introduced to love was on the playground in 3rd grade. My childhood sweetheart kissed me on the cheek and I was on cloud nine. At 9 years old, you like to think you know what love is. Now fast forward about 14 years. After much persistence on his part....asking me out on a date 3 times, with me telling him no, only to agree the fourth time he asked me.... I can honestly say this is the man God put in my life, and this is the man who I am so much in love with.

Stefan makes me laugh, smile, and giggle. He constantly pushes me to be a better person and a better Christian. Together we continue to grow in our relationship with Christ. Sure we have our moments, but every couple does. We work it out when it gets rough, and at the end of a long day he is there to greet me with a smile, hug, an "I love you", and a kiss. Yes I know this is sappy, but in all honesty this man is my first real love. It also helps that he is as big of a Mississippi State fan as I am:

He makes my heart smile and I'm so thankful he puts up with me. 

30 Day Blog Challenge Day 2: Meaning Behind Blog Name

Obviously the name of my blog is Sunny Days & Saturdays. I was looking for a cute and fun name that represented who I am. I chose this specific name because sunny days bring me so much joy and happiness. Saturdays are also my favorite days of the week. This post isn't as long as the previous, but hopefully I'll be in a better writing mood tomorrow for Day 3.


On a side note: My best friend got engaged last night and I am soooooo happy for her and her now fiance!!!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 1

I have decided, after realizing that I should blog more, that I should do what I've seen on a good many blogs: A 30 day blog challenge. Yes, yes, I know it's like those chain letters people send in emails, and many people can't stand those, but fortunately, this is only on here and is not going out to 15 recipients. And I thought it would be fun. So here goes....

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture, and 15 interesting facts

My name is Laura Kate. Kate is not my middle name. It is part of my first name which is a double name. There is a space between both names. Not a hyphen like so many people want to put. I am 23 years old. I will graduate May 7 (20 days! Yikes!) from Mississippi University for Women.

Interesting Facts:

1. I am named after my great-great grandmother Kate who was a full blood Cherokee Indian.

2. I have a sister who is 21. She is one of my best friends.

3. I am the spitting image of my mother, except for the redhair.

4. I am not very good at math, and did not inherit the "math gene" from my father, instead I inherited a big and loving heart like his.

5. I played softball for 11 years.

6. I have a scar on the inside of my left ankle from scraping it on the corner of a shower door freshman year of college.
