I spent 8.5 years imagining this day 🥹

When my family landed I had A PLAN. The whole city was mapped out in my brain, every corner that I wanted them to fall in love with the same way I had since moving to Nürnberg.

We took the U-Bahn straight to the old town. We'd start there, then head down to Frauenkirche, Sebald, wrap through Weißerbergasse... Maybe even the castle? Plans! Things! So many pretty places! Locations to tick off of the imaginary list in my mind to make their trip as worth it as possible!!

But in true Lupita fashion, my mom found most delicious smelling store in a 10 foot radius (@lushnuernberg ) and made friends with a worker there immediately. She left the shop deciding she was going to bring her girl Brigitte a jar of salsa.

Then she found a fruit stand.

Then she stopped to take a video of the Hare Krishna dancers to share with my step-dad back home. While I was mentally checked out and thinking of our next location, she kept stopping things I didn't even notice.

And I had to smile while watching my mother take it all in. Laughing loud, noticing the world around me, and making friends with strangers is how I was raised. Why was in such a rush when really, all we were here to do was be with each other?

We could be trapped in an elevator (which nearly happened in our Italy adventures HAHA) and my family would be laughing from delirium, cracking jokes, and finding some way to roast each other.

I always thought this trip would mean showing them all the beautiful things in town (which we still did so much of!) but my mama was reminding me of something so much more precious just by being herself. Presence. Not living to tick things off of an imaginary list, but to exist and sink into the moment right in front of her.

My throat ached by the end of the day from laughing so much.

Love you with my whole heart @lvillanu , thank you for teaching me that the best thing in life is just being together. 🥹

So privileged to be apart of this amazing team and atmosphere! I had so much fun doing College NCA camp at Mizzou these past couple of days! I got to bond so much more with my teammates and I also got to stunt with my old and now new teammate @london.seglem ! So crazy to think we started cheering together as a freshman and junior in high school and now we are a freshman and junior in college! Can’t wait to see where the rest of the season takes us!

25-26 cheer camp, I can officially say that’s a wrap, there were many tears, many laughs, I wouldn’t want to do it with any other team. I can’t wait for my last season. Cheer Camp 4/4. I love all of you.
