I did move across the country to be in the same city of a girl I had been long-distance (1000 miles) dating for three years at that point. I was 19, first time driving that kind of distance (and with all of my worldly possessions in the vehicle with me). Pretty scary.

That was 2010 and we're happily living together now. Just made pasta.

That's great that you guys are still together, especially given that you moved so far to be with her. I remember the days when all my worldly possession fit in to a car. Basically, pre-marriage.

Enjoy the pasta and welcome to Hubski!

Thanks! This place seems pretty cool, I'll try to contribute where I can.

I welcomed you before knowing you were from Columbus. Ann Arborite here :)

Great photos in your other post, I was just driving through Columbus a few weeks ago and I saw the oddest looking building from the highway. Brightly colored and just really, really ugly. Any chance you know what I'm referring to?

edit: Nevermind, it was the Wexler Medical Center

That's right down near where I live, they just built it recently.

Seems to have those colored glass panes that stick out, and when the sun is at a certain angle, it paints the glass color over the white of the wall at an angle. I believe it houses a lot of machinery and stuff like that.

It could be that I just caught it on a bad day. It's certainly more interesting looking in this image:

Yeah, it's a good thing it's just housing for mechanical stuff for the hospital and not working/office space though. It'd be weird having a big purple tint over your window for a part of the day.
