Congratulations!!cheersmate
But you can't stop there, when I started my quest 5 years ago all I wanted was an AA. Now I have an AA, a BA, trying for an AAS, and another BA, and don't forget doing prereqs so I can go for the MAT.
If I can do all this you and your wife can help each other to a BA/BS each. There are Plenty of test out there to help and straighterline is coming out with new classes.
I will check out your other post too.

Congrats rickyjo, But I agree with the others. It doesn't make sense for you to stop now at the AA/AS level. Now that you're on a roll, just keep going and finish up a BA/BS. Congrats again, cheersmate

Congratulations - Great job.
Just a short story - someone told me when they were moaning and whining about their dead end job. A family friend said they have a choice - they can just keep on complaining and eventually they will get to 50, or they can take courses, even if only one at a time, and end up getting a degree before they were 50.
The person who told me the story ended up getting her Masters, getting a a good job with the Chicago school system, and retiring comfortably - but it took that first step to get her on the way.
You have completed the first leg of the journey, now to take a short break and then get back on track for the balance. Frankly the AS took me sooooo many years, and to finish the BS took less than a year. You can do this, too. This from someone who just finished that degree at age 59  milelol:
