I'm going to take the car to a shop here in lewisville Tx who my fiance' uses (he's going to diagnose the problem for free. I'll let you know what he comes back with tomorrow!! Thanks so much for all the input.

Should I have put the back tire on the front and driven with the spare in the back? I'll feel really stupid If I didn't read something and messed up my car!
Yeah you're supposed to run the spare only in the rear, says so in the manual too, so in your case you would have to swap one of the rear to the front and then the spare onto the rear.
