My first ever AA limp....

I wouldn't reraise with AQ and neither would most good players. A raise from early position will also show a large amount of strength to a perceptive opponent.

Well that is the crux of the matter. Most of your opponents aren't good players or perceptive. Granted, op doesn't specify what level this is but if it is anything below $50 I'll guarantee that a majority sucks, and will limp any two in the opening rounds.
