CBDforLife C and B the Difference

❤️ Today, a New Chapter Begins… ❤️

Nearly 50 years ago, I watched a little boy ride a pinto pony through the streets of Primera, Texas. I never imagined our paths would cross again through the wonderful game of pickleball.

What began with one pickleball tournament has become a friendship, a partnership, and a love story built on trust, laughter, faith, and saying “yes” to life’s adventures together.

Today, we begin our journey as contestants in America’s Favorite Couple. Whether we advance one round or many, we already feel incredibly blessed and honored to have been selected.

This experience has reminded us that life is about so much more than recognition. It’s about the people we meet, the friendships we build, and using every opportunity to make a positive difference.

Many of you know that one of the greatest passions God has placed on my heart is Pickleball Fun, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing people together through the joy of pickleball.

Our mission is simple:

❤️ Every child deserves a place to belong.

Our vision is to inspire confidence, build stronger friendships, create healthier communities, and share brighter smiles—one paddle, one game, and one act of kindness at a time.

If our story touches your heart, we’d be honored to have your vote when voting opens today, July 6 at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time) and closes on Thursday, July 16, 2026. You are allowed 1 free vote per day.

More than anything, we’re grateful for your friendship, encouragement, prayers, and support throughout this journey.

We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to RGV Pickle for partnering with Pickleball Fun and allowing us the privilege of serving our community through volunteer coaching. Together, we’ve had the joy of working with the Harlingen After School Program, local Girl Scout troops, and this coming week’s RGV Pickle Summer Camp. Thank you for believing in the power of community, service, and introducing the joy of pickleball to the next generation.

No matter where this adventure leads, our hope is to leave the world just a little kinder than we found it.

Thank you for believing in us.

With love and gratitude,

❤️ Ester & Armando
