I'm a bit confused now. My wife is in the process of filling out her I-864 form. But whats next for us? I have paid both the AOS and IV bill. Once my wife has completed the sponsor form what do we do? We havent recieved our instruction packet yet but she has called the NVC for authrization. I am the beneficiary living abroad. From what I understood she only sends the I-864 to the NVC and I prepare my DS 230 and supporting documents for the interview at my local consulate?

Read this to familiarize NVC process and to speed things up:

Since you paid AOS fee (assuming online payment), check status is 'PAID' or not. If paid, print barcode sheet and send it with all required documents and I-864 to NVC.

Good Question... Now I am confused a bit. My wife and I were married in Colombia... Will I still need to have all here documents here in the US for NVC processing or will they send everything to the US Embassy in Colombia where we will gather and bring my wifes documents to the interview?

Marriage in any other country is immaterial. If you have filed I-130 with USCIS, you need to submit all originals to NVC and they will forward it to the Consulate of the beneficiary for the interview.

If one is DCF (eligibility is needed) filer, they will file I-130 with the Consulate and appear for interview. No NVC role here.
