Large spider. Approximately 3 inch diameter including legs. Light brown, few markings.
This amazing spider looks like a member of Genus Pisaurina:

They are called Nursery Web Spiders. To me, this looks like either Pisaurina dubia or Pisaurina mira. Take a look at the link and hopefully you can match your spider to one of them.
