My fear is that since I was a idiot and deleted stock apps I will not be able to get any further updates. I deleted cityid, cardock, kindle, skype, nfs shift. Will I need all those back to update?

Not so fast please. Uhh, what system are you on 2.2 or 2.3? You will have to get all the apps "bloat" back to upgrade. Might be easier to Flash the sbf back and start over.
You can, if you know all the apps that you deleted put them back one at a time though.
If you have the Android SDK installed on your computer place all the missing apk's and their odex files in the "tools" folder on your computer and then do this:
adb devices
adb shell (prompt is #)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp citiid.apk /system/app/cityid.apk
(do that for each apk and odex)
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
exit
OR from the terminal emulator on the phone:
prompt is #
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/download/citiid.apk /system/app/citiid.apk
once for each file.
Thanks for all your help. I haven't had a chance to do it yet. But I think I am going to perform the sbf later on tonight. Thanks again for all your help.

Ok sorry I guess I have one more question. Does anyone know if kindle and nfs shift are suppose to be a part of the system apps needed to perform a software update?

Sorry it took so long to answer. I do have Kindle on my phone but don't know what the nfs shift is. It is best to put them on though.
If you have not finished already, or even if you have, get the paid version of Titanium backup from the Market and freeze all the bloat apps rather than removing them and going back through all of this. Also, Droid2 bootstrapper and make a backup of the stock setup. Then just use it to restore the next time there is an update.
