About Me

my name is jessica or yiskah or jessie or jeshika, depending on who you are. i am married to a man who looks like fidel castro. his name is joshua, and he is nothing like mr. castro. i'm in the anchor school of ministry in nashville. i'm almost(!)20. the majority of my wardrobe is skinny jeans and band tees. i don't really own any dresses. i'm moody and enjoy making people laugh (if i'm not being debbie downer). josh always blows on my hair/face. he's doing it right now. make it stop! um, i always do these things spur-of-the-moment. lovely to meet you!
