Day One in Botswana

After two flights and 21 hours we finally landed in Johannesberg. South Africa. We then hopped on another
45 minute flight to Botswana. I twittered that I was in South Africa and
Botswana, and the way I wrote it I guess made it sound like I didn’t know my geography!

Once we got into Botswana we dropped our bags off at the hotel and then
headed to a school for disabled children. We met some really amazing children
and Reggie brought them all footballs and taught them how to play
football. This facility is called the Motswedi Rehabilitation Centre and it helps rehabilitate children and care for
children as they are getting ready to pass away.

The looks on these
beautiful childrens’ faces as Reggie was playing football with them was
unexplainable. It was so touching. Reggie and Adidas donated a new rehab facility for the children to use!

Here are some pictures to better describe our day!

Revisiting a New Orleans family on game day

As I spent the weekend in New Orleans and as I was getting all my tickets together for the game I realized I had some extra tickets. I called the family that my family met while filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians in New Orleans. They were on our finale episode for season 2.

I invited them to the game and they were beyond excited! Marissa, the daughter, had never been to a Saints game before and her brothers Aaron and Sydney got to meet some players after the game. They all were enjoying it so much!

They honestly are the nicest people and it was so good to see them again. Next time I go to New Orleans I’m going to check out their house. Since we filmed and saw they were living in a FEMA trailer, their house has been fixed following damage from Hurricane Katrina. It is just one week away from completion and then the furniture we got them will be delivered in the next few weeks!

They still live in the FEMA trailer, but hopefully by Christmas they will be moved into their home again. I couldn’t imagine living with four people in a one-bedroom FEMA trailer! Their spirits are so positive and they taught me and my family so much!

A football game that touched my heart

This Sunday the Saints played the Atlanta Falcons and they won! This game was very different than any other…

I met a very special boy named Micah. He is 11 years old.

I saw the cutest little boy walking into the suite box next to mine and he had a “Bush” jersey on. I told him I liked his jersey and when he turned around I noticed he had a breathing mask on. He was very quiet and seemed exhausted.

I went to the restroom and his mother Val followed me in and asked me if I would take a picture with her son. She explained he had two weeks to live and was dying of cancer. When she left I literally cried in the bathroom and got myself together and went to go take a picture with him. His mother told me that Micah had a 109 temperature that morning but he still wanted to go see Reggie play!

My heart truly was breaking just seeing how sweet this little boy was… I had to do more.

Hornets basketball player and one of Reggie’s best friends Chris Paul was sitting next door in our box so I took Micah over to meet him. He was so excited. Then after the game I took Micah and his whole family with me down to the family section where only the family waits near the locker room for the players to come out to meet Reggie!

Reggie spent some time with him and Micah lit up! I know him meeting Reggie won’t ever change what he and his family is going through, but for those brief moments hopefully he could forget he was sick.

I know Reggie and I will never forget Micah.

Carla is from Sarasota, so she spent her Thanksgiving with her family there in Florida… When I realized Reggie had a game in Tampa (about 30 miles away from Carla’s parents’) I decided to go and Carla met me! 

Saturday night we were kinda bored and were watching movies in the hotel room, so we decided to take silly pics. Check out these photos of us being total geeks!

Rainy game in Tampa

This weekend Carla met me in Tampa to join me at the Tampa Bay vs. New Orleans game. The Saints played a great game! Even though they didn’t win, the game was a lot of fun.

It was Reggie’s first game coming back from his injury. He didn’t play the whole game, so he could take it easy on his knee. But it was a great warm up game for him.

It was pouring rain so badly, look at the poor cheerleaders probably freezing and dancing in the rain. Can you believe they don’t allow umbrellas in the entire stadium!? Everyone was sitting in their seats getting soaked.

I can’t wait for next week in New Orleans against the Atlanta Falcons!
