Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself in hopes that I can become an active member of this community. My name is Sarah and I am in a relationship. We're going on 4 years together this February. I'm 33 years old, so I've been waiting (not so) patiently! Ha. I live in Rochester, NY. I have been ready for marriage and kids for a while now, but I fell for a younger guy who is very career driven, which has caused me to have to keep waiting. Supposedly the time is coming, but he has been saying that for awhile now, and actions speak louder than words. I'd love to believe that he is ready for the commitment and the future, but time will tell I suppose!
I will complete this survey so that you can get to know a little bit more about me.

Favorite book/author: I love chick lit. Emily Giffin is great. I also just got into Gillian Flynn. Love Mindy Kaling's new book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me" also.
Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: My parents were born and raised in Italy. They both moved here when they were 17 and didn't speak a word of English. They both came here with nothing, and started working and saving money and have come so far. They came here separately and didn't meet until they both lived here in Rochester, NY. They speak perfect English now (with accents). They stressed the importance of education since they were unable to finish their schooling (had to go to work for their poor families) and I have a lot of respect for them. A lot of my extended family never moved to America, so they live in Italy and I miss them always. I have been to Italy 4 times to visit them, although that isn't nearly enough.
