The second time on December 13, 1992 in Annet’s hometown of Tahlequah, OK. This one being the traditional church wedding that Annet desired. After getting married she and her two children, Emily and Josh Akin, relocated to Los Alamos.
Annet became a licensed Realtor in 1998 and worked with her mother-in-law, Ina Acomb, for 10 years. After leaving real estate she took a job at Los Alamos County with the transportation division. She loved her job at Atomic City Transit as the morning Lead Dispatcher. She retired after 10 years in December 2018.
