Definitely an Araenae species of Orb Weaver. My guess going by the markings would be a European Garden Spider. Very common throughout the states.

I would agree with the general species. The only question I have is the horns on the abdomen. I don't see anything in my resources that has that kind of protrusions. Beautiful tho!
