As we find ourselves in the giving season, I wanted to shine a special spotlight on Kirk and Yvonne, a couple we featured in a recent installment of "American Dream Home: Beach Life." If there were two people who deserved to find their dream home and dip their toes in the sand, it is these two. Quaint Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida is spectacular — and they picked the perfect spot for their home search.

I’ve been a television broadcaster for over 20 years, so going in front of a camera is second nature to me, like breathing. And I sometimes forget that the families and couples we feature on "American Dream Home" have never been on television. I'm in awe of Dustin, introduced to viewers this week during another episode of "American Dream Home." Dustin was young when he fell into addiction — but this week, he was brave enough to share with our viewers how he overcame a troubled past.
