Original Poster answering his own question: As it turns out, while trying to get it to turn over, my starter locked up. We took the starter out (not fun), took it to get it tested, and sure enough, bad starter. Replaced the starter and the car fired up just fine! Hope this helps!

What is happening when you push the starter switch and it just makes a clicking sound?

The click is sound made by the solenoid which is an electric booster switch that cuts in the starter motor. Your battery can supply enough current to operate the solenoid but not enough to turn the engine. Suspect flat battery, corroded battery terminal or loose battery terminals . Unbolt battery clamps. Clean terminals with wire wool smear with petroleum jelly and replace terminals ensuring tight clamps. If still no go then charge battery overnight after checking fluid levels in cells.
