Araneus peigna. She’s cute! Her species name comes from the moth or butterfly marking. https://bugguide.net/node/view/39390/data
Yes! That’s it! Thank you so much! This has been bugging me for a long time. I can identify all the other spiders in and out of my house except this one. I appreciate that. I hope this is helpful to others as well.
