Congrats on getting it started but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. This starts out as an intermittant problem but over time gets worse. You lucked out with it not starting at your house this time, but next time...?

Levity aside, outbid is correct.
Call an auto store in your area to have them conduct a test on your charging system. Specifically, there is a test they can conduct that will measure how much cranking amps your starter is pulling from the battery. A starter will get progressively worse and pull more power. It happened on my LS and we were able to measure it before it went **** up.

First thing I would check is to see if the battery terminals are corroded. If they are this will happen. Mine had that problem bad and it kept happening. I used some anti-corrosive spray and it worked great. There is of course the possibility that it is your starter as well but I would keep it simple and check the easy fix first.
