Root [AT&T] Upgrading AT&T S4- 4.2.2 Rooted to the latest

Hey guys,
I ran a search but I don't understand half the things people are writing. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could please explain to me my options. In layman's terms, as I do not understand half the abbreviations and jargons here.

I rooted my phone over a year ago and really don't remember anything about the process. I can't download certain important apps from Google Play as they require newer versions than 4.2.2... I'm stuck on this old version.

Can someone please point me in the right direction, I want a regular stock AT&T newest version, whether it stays rooted or not that's fine, but the newest version, I believe it's 4.4.4? What are my options? If not I can settle for a little older version. The simplest method would help me the most.

Much appreciated

Thank you,

Tri
