Cody, if it was the orig batt, it was long past due; if it was a replaced batt, along the way of the car's life, it was still on borrowed time.
Add in the didn't drive it for a couple of weeks and, kaboom!

There are pages of threads here on unexpectedly short batt life, batts going bad from sitting, etc. Many of us here use a Battery Tender
or some low amp maintenance charger when the X is parked/not driven long trips, on a regular basis.
It's nothing you "did". Swap it out, and maintain it with charger, and Good Luck.
