That's what I get!

So I quickly and carelessly downloaded OS6 on my iPhone, but I skipped some steps and ended up erasing everything on my phone. My bestest friend comes over, so excited to show me his brand spankin' new iPhone5 that he's been waiting so patiently for, but I steal his glory and he spends the next 2-3 hours trying to 'restore' and salvage whatever he can on my iPhone. After numerous attempts, we have all of it, except for my 'contacts' and 'notes' which is pretty much the 'lifeline' of any phone. I know he's tired and as frustrated as I am, but he's trying to keep me calm...love this man! So, my contacts and notes are wiped out because of my 'impatient' nature...lesson learned? Hmmm, but that's what I get for trying to bypass the important steps...don't be like me!=(
