Then, Dusty had planned to take me to dinner for my birthday. He knew that would be the quickest thing to do so we wouldn't be gone too long from Dad. So my Aunt Susan came to stay with Dad so we could all go. He took me to my favorite place, The Old Spaghetti Factory. Dusty's parents, his brother and wife, and sister and kids were there as well as my mom and sister and her kids. I don't get to see Heidi very often so I was so glad she was there.
My husband is so wonderful and treated my like a queen yesterday. I am continually grateful for him - I just love him so much. He is surely my rock.
Under the pictures is the post from my Dad's blog today so you can all get updated on his status. Thanks for all your love and support.

Here is the post from my Dad's blog - http://garyrupp.blogspot.com/ :
Well, it has been a rough week for Dad and all of us. As some of you know, I was called home Tuesday night from band camp and we have been here with Dad since. We have been blessed, as has Dad, to have his family here to see him as well as many friends. We are awaiting for him to return home, as I know he is!
It has been a hard week on all of us, knowing that we had to say goodbye. But, we know he is needed on the other side and is anxious to get going and get some work done!
He is the most amazing man I know. He has taught me, and many others, what is important in this life. Most of us know that one of Dad's #1 loves is the scriptures. He has taught so many from that book and has taught us to love it.
Dad, you have been a valiant and loyal servant to our Heavenly Father. He loves you as we do.
Matthew 25:21 "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Thank you to everyone for all your love and support through this time. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.
Much love,
Tiffany
